GPTZero App Aims to Prevent AI Plagiarism in Schools and Online
As AI programs become more advanced and capable of producing content faster and in some cases better than humans, concerns are rising among various groups about the potential loss of jobs to automated technology. This includes college professors, screenwriters, and journalists.
Edward Tian, a 22-year-old Princeton University student studying computer science and journalism, has created an app called GPTZero. The app is designed to prevent the misuse of the viral chatbot ChatGPT in classrooms. Since its launch in January, GPTZero has garnered 1.2 million registered users.
Tian has since developed a new program called Origin. This program aims to "save journalism" by identifying AI-generated disinformation online. The project has received $3.5 million in funding co-led by Uncork Capital and Neo Capital, with tech investors such as Emad Mostaque and Jack Altman.
Origin has the potential to revolutionize the way we consume news online. By weeding out AI-generated content, readers can have more faith in the articles they are reading. Additionally, journalists could benefit from knowing that their work is protected from AI plagiarism.
