Hi, Morgan! Did you include in your book that from a legal stand the burden of proof lies with the accuser? I expect the instances of such accusations are accelerating now because people have not yet realized that they may have grounds to sue for libel or slander. In the US it is a civil offense; in other countries it may be criminal. AI detection tools are giving false positives to polished prose, even prose that was created before the advent of AI. In any case, your book's premise sounds definitely interesting and relevant to our times. Best of luck to you!
Quick update: I made the Kindle edition free through September 3.If this topic sounded interesting but you weren’t sure about buying it, this is a good chance to grab it and see if it’s useful to you. No review is required, of course. If you do end up reading it, I’d genuinely appreciate an honest one.

Hello, Edmond! I do get into the evidence and process side of this, although I was careful not to frame it as a blanket rule that the legal burden always falls on the school. Academic integrity procedures vary quite a bit by institution, and they aren’t the same as a courtroom proceeding.I also discuss the recent Newby v. Adelphi case, which I found especially interesting. The student won and the violation was ordered expunged, but I was careful not to present it as a nationwide ruling that AI detectors are illegal or that every false accusation automatically creates a lawsuit.
I think the bigger practical problem is exactly what you’re getting at: these tools can produce results that look much more definitive than they really are, and students often have no idea what evidence they should preserve or what questions they should be asking. That’s really what pushed me to write the book.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.
It covers things like what records to save, what an AI detector score actually tells you, figuring out exactly what rule you’re accused of breaking, preparing for a meeting, and dealing with an appeal.
It’s a pretty specific subject, but unfortunately it seems to be happening to a lot of students now.
It’s available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited here:

If the subject interests you and you decide to read it, I’d genuinely appreciate an honest review. Positive or negative is completely fine. I’m mostly interested in getting the book in front of people who would actually find it useful.
Thanks,
Morgan
