What Countries Are the Leaders in GenAI Development? Even though the early prototypes of GenAI emerged in the 1960s, little to no attention was drawn to Artificial Intelligence until the 1980s when the “AI renaissance” began, stimulated by various technological factors. During that period, the USA was the main “brain center” for AI research, though

What Is Text Watermarking? Text watermarking is a technology, which allows copyright protection with the help of special metadata inserted into a copy of a text. This metadata contains details on authorship, owner status, publication date, and other info that can be extracted to avoid unauthorised distribution, counterfeiting, intellectual theft, and so on. While the

Can AI-Generated Text Be Detected by Plagiarism Checkers? Plagiarism concerns in regard to GenAI have been raised repeatedly, especially since models capable of synthesizing media have become publicly available. Currently, AI-written texts aren’t acknowledged as intellectual property or original writing as they draw ideas, narratives, and stylistics from other people’s works. While the plagiarism and
