JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – Mark DiMauro has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence since the new technology began its recent rise, and now the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown assistant professor has developed a more accurate way of checking students’ work for the fingerprints of AI use.
This “Turing Auditing” – named for famous British computer scientist and code-breaker Alan Turing – is 20% to 50% more accurate than checkers available on the market at detecting the use of AI in student work, such as a research paper, according to DiMauro.
