Academic integrity is essential for maintaining trust and credibility in education and research. The rise of digital technologies and widespread online access has made plagiarism detection more challenging, requiring new solutions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers advanced tools to identify plagiarism and promote originality in academic work. This paper explores how AI-driven systems enhance plagiarism detection, support the development of original ideas, and address ethical concerns related to privacy and bias. The discussion highlights the benefits and challenges of integrating AI in academic settings, emphasizing the need for thoughtful implementation and human oversight to uphold ethical standards and foster a culture of honesty and creativity.
