Copyleaks, founded in 2015, is a plagiarism detection platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to attempt identifying similar and identical content across various formats and platforms.[1][2][3]
In 2022, Copyleaks raised $7.75 million dollars to expand anti-plagiarism capabilities.[4]
Copyleaks includes tools for detecting plagiarism, paraphrasing and potential copyright violations, and also AI-based text analysis components to attempt distinguishing between content created by humans and content generated by artificial intelligence.[5][6]
While the accuracy of Copyleaks detection software is not confirmed, an article written by Kyle Wiggers and published by Tech Crunch in February of 2023 claimed that Copyleaks incorrectly classified numerous segments of text produced by LLM text models (especially with text produced from less popular language models like Claude from anthropic).[7]
An article written by Vahan Petrosyan, published on Search Engine Journal, also in February 2023, tested three AI outputs against Copyleaks detection. In the article, Petrosyan noted that Copyleaks correctly flagged generative prompts as AI-written.[8]
Copyleaks has claimed to be upwards of 99% accurate in detecting AI-generated content.[9][10] According to a report published by BBC, Copyleaks was used to flag an essay as AI generated that was turned in by a student.[11]
In March 2023, an article published to VentureBeat noted that Copyleaks showed an ability to accurately detect AI-written text.[12]
Third party academic testing of Copyleaks published in September 2023, by Elkhatat et al, noted that Copyleaks struggled with high sensitivity, indicating to the researchers that at the time, that Copyleaks had an aggressive approach to detecting generative text content. Researchers noted that in comparison to another tool tested called GPTZero, Copyleaks algorithm appeared to be more strict, whereas GPTzero appeared to be more balanced; however both softwares revealed limitations and inaccuracies during the research conducted by Elkhatat, et al.[13]
