AI Tools
Explore our list of the various AI and ML tools that can enhance education, research, and administrative efficiency.
We did not include plagiarism detectors, as evidence has shown significant false positives (i.e., incorrectly identifying a fully human-written text as AI-generated) and biases against non-native speakers. See additional information on our Use Policies and Guidance Page.
