Round Rock High School students create AI detecting app to help teachers

Round Rock, Texas (KXAN) – you liked it or not, artificial intelligence has become more integrated in our society in recent years, including in the semester.

New York Times She stated last month that she had received mixed responses to demand students to ask their ideas about the use of artificial intelligence in the semester. The article stated that many respondents said that this depends on how to use artificial intelligence, but some are concerned that technology can become a crutch and eventually teenagers can think of themselves.

While the reaction to the use of artificial intelligence varies through the person and conditions, two high school students in central Texas develop an application that is discovered if the AI ​​is used to complete handwritten tasks.

Arush Satasia and Akshat Dev, both Juniors at ROUND Rock High School, Argus “Helping teachers to maintain academic integrity in a practical and accessible manner,” Satasia said.

Satasia added: “As a local student who is passionate about moral technology and education, I built this application to support teachers who move in these new digital challenges.”

Dave said that the inspiration came from an article he wrote for his chapter in his seminar AP about AI’s algorithms and the biases behind them.

“I stumbled on the statistics of 56 % of students who used artificial intelligence, either to cheat their tasks or exams,” Dave explained. “There were other tools in the market to solve this type of solution, but none of them address handwritten tasks specifically,” explaining that the normal text must usually be copied from the Internet and then pasted into the Amnesty International for work.

The difference with Argus-AAI is that it uses the recognition of letters optical recognition, or recognition of visual letters, to take handwritten text letters from an image and determine the possibility of artificial intelligence to write this text.

The application allows the user to download an image, which will be processed after that and calculate the degree of the possibility of artificial intelligence.

“We noticed, like a gap in that, especially in handwritten tasks,” said Satasia. Looking at how prevailing is that teachers give handwritten tasks, and the ease that students must go directly to the GPT chat and return, such as, all the information you need, and teachers did not have a way, such as dealing with this problem directly, so we decided to enter another like anyone else, like anyone else, to download raw images only.

The application is still under development, but there is a primitive version available on Apple App Store actually.

Satasia said that they are working to expand the scope of access to schools and provide free subscriptions to teachers while they are working to get them out of the ground and ready for full launch.

Dave said that the biggest challenge in the development process is the aspect of authentication in the application – ensuring that it is possible to determine that the teachers who use the application are the ones who say they – and the financial aspect, because they use paid services and provide free service in general.

“We are trying to be responsible for the pricing of teachers, right? So we want to keep this application free for teachers, and we also want to make it free for teachers, and perhaps even all over the world, right? So cost coverage is definitely one of the obstacles.”

Dave said regarding the following for their product road map, it gives priority to ratification, but she is also looking forward to setting a greater record to track more scanning operations. They also want the application to be able to show other standards such as highlighting the specific sentences that have been probably created by artificial intelligence.
