Would that not be a conflict of interest? Especially if the college claims to use Ai content for their learning?
It could potentially be seen as a conflict of interest if the college has specific rules about the use of AI tools and these rules apply to both students and faculty. Here are some steps you might consider:
- Document the Incident: Keep records of the AI-detected content and the teacher's email.
- Review College Policies: Check the college’s policies on AI usage and academic integrity.

What case laws show that Ai detection is not reliable
There aren't specific case laws that address the reliability of AI detection directly, but you can look at broader legal principles and guidelines around the use of technology in decision-making. Here are a few points to consider:
- Due Process: Cases related to due process might indirectly address the reliability of evidence, including AI-generated evidence. Courts generally require that evidence be reliable and relevant.
- Admissibility of Evidence: In some cases, courts have ruled on the admissibility of new types of evidence, which might provide insight into how AI-generated evidence could be treated.
- Bias and Discrimination: Legal challenges around biased algorithms may also touch on the reliability of AI systems. For example, cases involving facial recognition technology have raised issues about the accuracy and fairness of AI.
