Copyleaks was founded in 2015 by Alon Yamin and Yehonatan Bitton, software developers working with text analysis, AI, machine learning, and other cutting-edge technologies.[1][2][3]
Copyleaks’ product suite is used by businesses, educational institutions, and individuals to identify potential plagiarism and AI-generated content in order to provide transparency around responsible AI adoption.[4][5][6]
In 2022, Copyleaks raised $7.75 million to expand its anti-plagiarism capabilities.[7]
Functionality
editCopyleaks is used in academia to detect plagiarism, paraphrasing, and potential copyright violations.[5][8][9] The release of AI models and rapid adoption has led to students increasingly using these tools to complete their work so Copyleaks helps to distinguish between content created by humans and content generated by AI.[5][8][9][10]
Criticism
editIn June 2023, an international team of academics found AI detection tools inaccurate and unreliable.[11][12] In an analysis of five AI content detection tools – Copyleaks, OpenAI, Writer, GPTZero, and CrossPlag – Copyleaks struggled with sensitivity, that is, the proportion of AI-generated content correctly identified by the detectors out of all AI-generated content.[12] Copyleaks had the highest sensitivity at 93% for content generated by ChatGPT 4.[12][13]
