Mastodon user develops tool to verify AI-generated citations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A user on Mastodon has developed CiteTrue, a tool designed to verify the existence of academic citations, particularly those generated by AI. This tool aims to combat the issue of fabricated references in academic work. The user also mentioned working on a production contract with a short fuse, which involves free, best-effort inference for post-facto narration of numbers, though this seems separate from the CiteTrue project. AI

IMPACT This tool could help maintain academic integrity by identifying and flagging AI-generated citations that do not correspond to real sources.
