The proposed method uses Item Response Theory (IRT) to detect AI cheating in multiple-choice questions (MCQs). It assumes that AI-generated responses exhibit different patterns compared to human responses. The approach models these deviations using Person-Fit Statistics, demonstrating its effectiveness in distinguishing between human and chatbot-generated responses from leading AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Additionally, the study reveals differences in reasoning profiles among the chatbots.

This paper is about finding ways to prevent students from cheating with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). Right now, there’s not much research on how to spot AI cheating in multiple-choice tests. The researchers came up with a new method that uses a type of statistics called Item Response Theory (IRT) to figure out if answers are coming from humans or AI. They tested their approach using famous chatbots like ChatGPT and found it worked pretty well.
