….. and which students are disproportionately affected by false positives?
What percentage of students are you willing to falsely accuse of cheating with AI?
There is a trade-off between false accusations and detection rates for AI. At a 10% false positive rate, detectors find 80% or less of AI content. At a 1% rate most find 60% or less.
Don’t trust AI detectors!
