GPTZero founder builds $30 million AI-detection business

Original: 'We don't want to be a policeman of the Internet': How a John McPhee student turned GPTZero into a $30 million AI-detection business

GPTZero, an AI-detection tool created by a former student of writing teacher John McPhee, has grown into a business valued at around $30 million. Its founder says the company does not want to act as a 'policeman of the Internet', positioning the tool as a service for detecting AI-generated text rather than an enforcer of online rules. The story highlights how quickly demand for AI-detection has grown in education and publishing.

Why now: Growing concern over AI-generated text in schools and workplaces is driving interest in how detection tools are built and monetised.
