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.

What about tipping off? Banks can't tell you that they've closed your account because of fraud or money laundering.

They should have to tell you that. I can see why it's convenient for them not to, but I believe the larger point is far more important.
