What Is Considered Proof Of AI Use?

When determining AI involvement in academic work, professors may consider the following as indicators:

  • Curly quotes vs. straight quotes
  • Grammarly usage
  • Lack of citation of sources combined with other flags
  • Inconsistencies in writing style or tone
  • Unusual patterns in formatting or structure

These indicators alone may not be sufficient to prove AI use conclusively. Attorney Asselta can assist in analyzing the evidence, questioning the validity and preparing a strong defense.

What To Do If You’re Concerned About AI Usage Suspicion

If you are worried that your teacher suspects AI usage, consider taking these steps:

  • Review your work so that it reflects your own understanding and style.
  • Gather documentation such as drafts, notes and research materials to show your original work process.
  • Cite or reference any sources you might have used to prepare your assignment.
  • Fix settings on the word processing program to make sure your quotation marks and punctuation are consistent.
  • If you use AI for aspects of your assignment, such as researching, adjust settings or prompts for consistent formatting, such as curly quotes or a more formal style.

Attorney Asselta can work with you to help address misunderstandings and protect your academic and professional reputation.
