Harvard's president might not be the last to lose her job over plagiarism claims, thanks to the power of AI

• The Harvard president stepped down after allegations of plagiarism in her doctoral thesis.
• Software tools could easily accuse many more academics of plagiarism.
• An expert said academics often use similar wording to describe the same concepts.

AI could mean many other academics will face the same plagiarism allegations that led to Claudine Gay's resignation as president of Harvard University.

Gay stepped down on Tuesday after facing mounting pressure over her comments about antisemitism on campus and accusations of plagiarism.
