The part that annoys me is that students apparently have no right to be told why the AI flagged their work. For any process where an computer is allowed to judge people, where should be a rule in place that demands that the algorithm be able explains EXACTLY why it flagged this person.

Now this would effectively kill off the current AI powered solution, because they have no way of explaining, or even understanding, why a paper may be plagiarized or not, but I'm okay with that.

It's a similar problem to people being banned from Google (insert big company name) because of an automated fraud detection system that doesn't give any reason behind the ban.

I also thing that there should be laws requiring a clear explanation whenever that happens.

while it is infuriating, it's common for every place where fraud is an issue. if the company gave feedback, it would open the door to probing and know what is being watched or not. same reason as why a bank will not tell you why you got kicked off.
