Student Brands, a BNED company, releases AI
content detector to help educators detect essays written by AI
writing tools
Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED), a leading
solutions provider for the education industry, today announced the
launch of IdentifAI™️, a free AI content detector. The tool
is currently in beta and will be available via
bartleby® Write’s online platform later this
month.
Student Brands™️, a BNED company, developed IdentifAI to detect
human versus bot-generated text. In initial testing, the tool
accurately identified AI writing approximately 90% of the time. The
Student Brands team has tested it against popular text generators,
including ChatGPT, WriteSonic, Quillbot and Jasper.
“At Student Brands and Barnes and Noble Education, we believe
that AI can awaken a student’s critical thinking skills, but it
should not become a substitute for thinking itself,” said Sudhir
Krishnaswamy, CTO of Barnes and Noble Education DSS and CEO of
Student Brands. “As large language models become more prevalent, we
want to ensure that educators and students are provided AI
detection tools as part of the bartleby Write service in addition
to the plagiarism and grammar detection that they know and
love.”
IdentifAI uses perplexity to measure the level of predictability
of what is being written, looking at sentence structure and how
consistent the text is. This approach allows the tool to detect if
the text is generated by a machine or written by a human. Users can
paste up to 1,000 words at a time into the IdentifAI tool, and all
text detected as AI-written is instantly highlighted.
“Certain tools like ChatGPT that write full essays for students
are not conducive in helping them learn and makes it difficult as
an English professor to understand if my students are truly
grasping the concepts I’m teaching,” said Dr. Erin Presley,
Associate Professor of English at Eastern Kentucky University.
“Having a free AI detection tool to quickly and easily check my
students’ writing helps me understand if they used an AI generator
or are doing the work themselves.”
To ensure Student Brands is creating state-of-the-art AI tools
that will help students learn, the company has compiled an
experienced AI-team to work on its “Content Brain™️” technology.
The multi-disciplinary group of AI-experts includes team members
that have worked in gaming, instructional design, news, social
media, content, scientific research and big data.
In addition to the IdentifAI tool being announced today, the
Content Brain™️ team is working on a new AI tool that harnesses the
power of large language models and GPT3 to help guide a student
through their own writing journey. The goal of the AI-powered tool
in development, is to teach students to be better writers by
helping them fully explore the various facets of a writing topic
and providing them with suggestions for where they may have missed
a critical point.
The tool will offer a writing experience that starts with an
essay prompt and a blank page, and provide guidance toward
alternate ways of saying something without offering up paraphrased
text. It will provide human- and AI-written plagiarism checks,
coverage analysis through intents, and suggestions that a
particularly opinionated piece of writing be supported by a
citation.
The AI tool in development is scheduled to be released in the
Fall of 2023.
