Academic AI platform Jenni AI has launched new tools in the Philippines that allow students and researchers to check claims, verify sources, and assess academic papers before submission.
The Reviews suite includes Claim Confidence and Peer Review, which address concerns over inaccurate information and fabricated citations produced by artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
Claim Confidence checks every claim and source in a draft. It flags statements that may be unsupported or misrepresented and recommends citations when evidence is missing. This could help universities reduce the risk of students submitting AI-assisted papers containing sources that do not exist.
Peer Review evaluates a paper using a standardized rubric. It leaves comments about the paper’s strengths and weaknesses before the work is submitted to a professor or academic journal.
The launch comes as Jenni AI expands its presence in Philippine higher education. The company has agreements with Mapúa University, the University of Santo Tomas, Cebu Technological University, Central Philippine University, Holy Angel University, Laguna State Polytechnic University, and De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, which has renewed its agreement.
“The objection we hear from Philippine faculty is never, ‘AI is bad.’ It’s, ‘Can I trust what it produced, and are the sources AI is referencing real?’” said Justin Wong, head of Commercial Operations at Jenni AI. “Claim Confidence exists because that’s a fair question. If a tool puts a citation in your paper, it should be able to show you the source and tell you when it can’t.”
Jenni AI also offers an AI Declaration command that inserts a formal acknowledgment of AI use into a research paper. According to the company, the declaration has been used in more than 100 published papers.
The rollout comes as Philippine schools develop clearer rules for using AI in education. The Commission on Higher Education has been working on a draft AI policy in education focused on responsible use.
Research by the Second Congressional Commission on Education also found that higher education institutions are introducing measures covering academic integrity, assessment design, and AI literacy.
For universities, verification tools could make AI easier to use in teaching and research without removing the student’s responsibility to check the evidence and stand behind the final paper.
