Explanation :

This detect_ai_usage function monitors the system's running processes for the presence of specific AI-related tools (e.g., Google Gemini, ChatGPT, etc.) by matching their names. If an AI tool is detected, it sends an alert email and takes a screenshot. Here's a detailed explanation:

Functionality

1.     Define AI Tools:

o   ai_tools = ["gemini", "chatgpt", "openai", "bard", "cortex", "chrome", "ChatGPT"]:

§  Specifies the names of processes or tools to look for. These names are searched in the active process list.

§  The list can be expanded or customized as needed.

2.     Monitor Processes in a Loop:

o   A while True loop continuously checks running processes using psutil.

3.     Search for AI Tools in Processes:

o   psutil.process_iter(['pid', 'name']) iterates over active processes, retrieving each process's name and PID (Process ID).

o   For each process, the code checks if any of the ai_tools names appear in the process's name (case-insensitive comparison).

4.     Alert on Detection:

o   If a match is found:

§  Logs the detected AI tool and its PID: print(f"AI tool detected: {proc.info['name']} with PID {proc.info['pid']}").

§  Captures a screenshot using take_screenshot().

§  Sends an email using send_email, with the tool's name included in the email body and the screenshot attached.

§  Deletes the screenshot after sending the email to free up storage.

5.     Handle Errors Gracefully:

o   If an error occurs (e.g., insufficient permissions to access certain processes), it logs the error and waits for 30 seconds before retrying.

6.     Pause Between Checks:

o   The time.sleep(5) introduces a 5-second delay between process scans to reduce CPU usage.
