Copyleaks is a plagiarism detection platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify similar and identical content across various formats.[1][2]

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]

Services

[edit]

Copyleaks offers a suite of tools for academic institutions, businesses, and individuals designed to detect plagiarism and content generated by artificial intelligence.[4][8][9][10] The service analyzes text by comparing it against a database and by using an AI model to comprehend semantic meaning and writing style.[11]

The AI detection tool is intended to identify text produced by large language models, including cases where text may be paraphrased to mask AI generation.[4][citation needed] It is also available as a Chrome extension to verify online content.[12]

The company also provides a specific tool, Codeleaks, for detecting AI-generated and plagiarized source code, which also identifies the original software license.[13][14][15]

Reception

[edit]

The accuracy and reliability of AI detection tools, including Copyleaks, have been subjects of academic study. In June 2023, a study published in the International Journal for Educational Integrity found that AI detection tools were often inaccurate and unreliable.[16] A separate analysis in the same journal of five AI content detection tools found that Copyleaks had the highest sensitivity (the proportion of AI-generated content correctly identified) at 93% for content generated by GPT-4, but struggled with texts that had been modified by humans.[17][18]

A November 2023 analysis by a research team from the University of Adelaide found Copyleaks to be a reliable tool. In one test, the researchers wrote a film critique in the style of a 14-year-old student; Copyleaks determined an 85.2% probability of AI-generated content. After the text was altered by a human, the tool returned a 73.1% probability.[19][20]

Copyleaks has stated its AI detector has a 99% accuracy rate with a 0.2% false positive rate.[12][21][22][23]
