The rise of generative artificial intelligence has created significant challenges for professors, who now have to sift through machine-generated term papers. However, as Bloomberg reports, the issue also affects students, who sometimes face false accusations of submitting AI-generated work due to cheating detection programs. This has led to a climate of "paranoia and anxiety" in classrooms, with some students avoiding even legitimate writing tools like Grammarly to escape being flagged. Neurodivergent students and non-native English speakers are particularly vulnerable to these mistaken identifications.

For institutions, we offer guidance on implementing fair and reliable AI detection policies that balance academic integrity with students' rights. For students facing wrongful accusations, we provide advocacy and representation to ensure their academic records and reputations are protected. Our experience in AI-related legal matters allows us to offer solutions that mitigate risks while fostering an equitable learning environment.
