Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>A student says he has developed his own artificial intelligence (AI) app to stop cheats using essay-writing bots.<\/p>\n

Ed Daniels, 22, began developing software start-up AIED.UK after a project on his university course asked him to integrate AI with education.<\/p>\n

The fourth-year student at Bristol University said that he felt the need to “protect the education system” after ChatGPT became popular.<\/p>\n

His app detects if an essay has been generated by the use of AI.<\/p>\n

He likened the way it works to “fighting fire with fire”.<\/p>\n

“Currently the best models of essay-writing bots, you have to pay for. You have to pay \u00a320 a month to get GPT 4 and it is a lot better, so that gives richer students a real advantage,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said the motivation behind the software, which itself uses AI to detect the use of the technology, is to prevent inequality in academic settings.<\/p>\n

“It worries me that some people may not have access to that stuff, so we need to level the playing field,” Mr Daniels added.<\/p>\n

He said he thinks of AIED.UK as a “transitional phase” to prevent cheating whilst universities adapt to new technologies.<\/p>\n

Explaining how the software works, Mr Daniels said: “Computers are getting really good at noticing things, if I’m always saying the exact perfect word next, chances are, that’s a bot.<\/p>\n

“Normal human writing and speaking don’t always use the most predictable word, so the technology in the app effectively notices that if it can predict which word is coming next, a bot has probably written it.”<\/p>\n

Mr Daniels said that other students have compared him to “the guy that told the teachers the homework was due”.<\/p>\n

But he said criticism from fellow students does not bother him, adding: “I actually quite like it because it lets me pretend like I’m playing the villain or something.”<\/p>\n

While the bulk of the work behind AIED.UK was done by Mr Daniels, he has been supported by a grant from the University of Bristol’s student start-up incubator, Runway.<\/p>\n

Mark Neild, Runway’s programme director, said: “This is a rapidly-growing market, so we are keen to help Ed develop his skills and build his exciting software.”<\/p>\n
