D2L Adds AI-Based Plagiarism Detection to Learning Platform

D2L has partnered with Copyleaks to integrate AI-based plagiarism detection into its D2L Brightspace learning platform.

Copyleaks technology is designed to "identify potential plagiarism and paraphrasing across 100 languages, uncover AI-generated content, verify authenticity and ownership, and empower error-free writing," according to information released by the companies. "Their AI Content Detector — the only enterprise solution available via API and learning management system integrations — is able to help detect the presence of AI content across 15 languages at the individual sentence level, as well as AI content that has been paraphrased."

Through the partnership, two of Copyleaks' tools will be available for integration with Brightspace: a generative AI text identification tool called AI Content Detection, and a plagiarism tool called Copyleaks Plagiarism Detector.

"As generative AI continues to proliferate and expand, knowing what content is human-created and what was generated by AI is crucial, especially within education," said Alon Yamin, CEO of Copyleaks, in a prepared statement.

    California AI Watermarking Bill Garners OpenAI Support

    ChatGPT creator OpenAI is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
