Case Study: Writopia Lab protects student writing authenticity with Copyleaks AI Text Detector

Writopia Lab flags 33% AI-written submissions with Copyleaks

Writopia Lab, an affiliate managing submissions for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, faced a challenge to its competition's integrity with the rise of generative AI. The nonprofit needed a way to identify AI-generated content within thousands of student submissions to ensure a fair process for authentic work, but manually reviewing hundreds of suspicious entries was beyond its operational capacity. To tackle this, they turned to Copyleaks and its AI Text Detector.

By integrating the Copyleaks API into its adjudication workflow, Writopia Lab was able to efficiently screen 274 submissions. The Copyleaks platform identified that 33% contained AI, which then underwent a secondary human review leading to 47 entries being disqualified. This solution preserved the competition's fairness, saved valuable volunteer time, and allowed the nonprofit to complete a high-volume screening process that was previously impossible with its limited resources.
