" We noticed that a recent project submitted to the Genius Olympiad was found to have a high degree of similarity to another student's original project.
Both students are supervised by the same teacher.
After a thorough investigation, we determined that the student's work contained 3-4 sentences that were exactly the same as the original, and 3-4 sentences that were very similar except for the rearrangement of words. Additionally, a text comparison tool determined that the fraudulent work had 86% similarity to the original work. We also examined both works and determined that both were written by humans and not AI products," the organizing committee representative wrote in an email.
