Sean O’Sullivan, a scholar from the Cólaiste Chiaráin in Croom, Co Limerick, has researched that along with the advancements in artificial intelligence, it has seemingly become very difficult to detect an assignment or work carried out by a computer rather than a human.
The information, which was shared by Sean at the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education, informed about the concern regarding the new AI tools. For instance, Humanizer has the potential to craft articles which are very difficult to detect if they are machine-written content.
Sean O’Sullivan is a winner at the BT Young Scientist for his project VerifyMe, a tool designed to detect whether an article is AI-written or human-written. Talking about his created tool, the student shared that VerifyMe is compatible with detecting advanced AI platforms like ChatGPT4.
However, since artificial intelligence is a “constantly moving target,” the detection tools require a mandatory update regularly, shares Sean.
On the contrary, he predicts that AI can be beneficial to students by introducing them to a more personalised education.
Besides Sean, there were other five competitors at the BT Young Science Awards, who were featured on the committee.
The Irish Fianna Fail politician, Jim O’Callaghan, asked students whether artificial intelligence can promote cheating at educational institutions. A scholar from the Ballinteer Community School in Dublin, Layla-Grace White contributed with her response that some of her teachers make students repeat their work without having mobile phone access on the pretext that they have incorporated AI into their assignments.
One of the other students, Padraig Meade, predicted that the advances in AI would be so extensive that academic professionals would return to closed-book examinations rather than the assessment practice.
“It will have to get to a point where we completely stop it because everyone will be using it. There would be no point in examinations without a closed book” said Meade.
A student from the Ballinteer Community School In Dublin, Leah Jennings, contributed to the discussion saying that eventually, people will be “intellectually challenged and lazy” since AI is set to help humans in almost every activity. “Looking into the future, it will be a very lazy world,” said Leah.
What’s More About AI? Research Claims Artificial Intelligence Can Help In Solving Quantum Computing Errors
A recent research by Australia’s National Science Agency states that advanced artificial intelligence can help in solving computing errors and making Quantum computers a reality.
A CSIRO Research which was published in Physical Review News Journal discovered that AI can assist in processing Quantum errors known as Qubit noise, a Quantum physics-generated nature.
