Seán O’Sullivan, aged 17, is a fifth year student from Coláiste Chiaráin in Limerick, and winner of the 2024 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhition for his project, VerifyMe: A new approach to authorship attribution in the post-ChatGPT era.
Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November of 2022, the line between human-written and AI-generated text has blurred, leaving academia and industry searching for a reliable method to discern “true” human authorship.
In his project, Seán considered the challenges of author verification in the context of the significant improvements in Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. He developed a novel approach to author authentication that identifies stylistic differences to verify authorship.
