Manage episode 519215619 series 2854395
In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with Derek Newton, an academic-integrity journalist, author, contributing writer, communications professional, and the founder of Verify My Writing (VMW). The conversation unpacked how AI-generated content is overwhelming editors, peer reviewers, and publishers—and how provenance-based verification can restore trust. They explore why detectors alone keep failing, practical disclosure norms for scientists and writers, and a playbook to protect credibility in the age of AI. Derek's work has appeared in The Atlantic, Forbes, NBC, USA Today, and many other outlets. Beyond writing, he's a leader in integrity and fraud: he delivered the keynote at the 2025 International Center for Academic Integrity conference and publishes The Cheat Sheet, a newsletter on cheating and authentic work that has released 400 issues and reaches roughly 5,000 subscribers.
