Towards Detecting AI-Assisted Responses in Online Surveys

The paper introduces ASURRE, a benchmark dataset for detecting AI‑assisted responses in online surveys. It evaluates how different LLM usage strategies—ranging from full generation to persona‑grounded agentic completion—affect the performance of existing machine‑generated text detectors. The study finds that while naive AI usage is easily detected, more sophisticated persona‑grounded agents approach chance performance, yet still leave identifiable behavioural traces that can be aggregated to improve detection.
