Is it true that AI text detectors misclassify writing by non-native English speakers as AI-generated more often than writing by native speakers?
Yes. A 2026 systematic review reports that six experimental studies found AI detectors falsely labeled non-native English speakers' writing as AI-generated in 50.2%–61.3% of cases versus under 5% for native writers. Other sources, including a peer-reviewed commentary and a book citing Liang et al., likewise state that detectors disproportionately misclassify non-native English writing, though they give no comparative rates.
