Professor's Use of AI to Detect Plagiarism Backfires, Highlighting Risks of Rushed Implementation in Education

Professor Mumm used ChatGPT to detect AI-written content in students' essays, but the AI falsely accused students of plagiarism.

Mumm decided to give all students an incomplete grade rather than zeros due to the AI errors.

The incident illustrates issues around AI tools and plagiarism accusations in education.

Rather than seeing AI as a threat, we should use it to assess students on knowledge quality, says Okezue Bell Simone Rotella.

AI can help create a better education system if implemented properly, but panic over cheating risks problematic applications.
