Study challenges claim that AI use directly triggers plagiarism among university students

A recent study published by the journal Interactive Learning Environments analyzes the relationship between the frequency of ChatGPT use for academic purposes and plagiarism among university students. The research by a UPV/EHU group concluded that, despite a correlation existing between the frequency of use of this tool and plagiarism, the causality between the two variables is virtually non-existent.

A new study finds frequent ChatGPT use does not automatically lead to plagiarism. Instead, factors like cheating culture & low motivation are bigger influences.
