Copyleaks is a plagiarism detection platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify similar and identical content across various formats.Copyleaks is used in academia to detect plagiarism, paraphrasing, and potential copyright violations. The release of AI models and rapid adoption has led to students increasingly using these tools to complete their work so Copyleaks helps to distinguish between content created by humans and content generated by AI.
