Description:
Originality.ai will develop an AI-enhanced plagiarism detection tool that goes beyond identifying potentially plagiarized or paraphrased content. The project will automate the currently manual review process by analyzing flagged sections, assessing whether they represent true plagiarism, summarizing the highest-risk issues, and identifying the likely source material. The system will also generate suggested edits to help users revise problematic sections while preserving meaning and originality. This R&D project will require new AI models, datasets, testing methods, and product integration to create a more accurate, efficient, and actionable plagiarism workflow.
