For now, there are still some ways to tell whether an article is written by AI, says Blevins, citing things to look out for that might indicate its AI such as “really odd grammar” or poor sentence construction.

Blevins is a leading scholar in U.S. telecommunication law and policy, and critical political economy theory and is the co-author of “Social Media, Social Justice and the Political Economy of Online Networks.” He is a trusted media resource, and he has provided expertise on electronic media regulation and Federal Communications Commission policymaking to international, national, regional and local news media.
