Summary

This article outlines recent developments regarding AI (Artificial Intelligence) detection in Turnitin.

How-To

Instructions

AI plagiarism detection is a rapidly developing field. Turnitin has started to incorporate it in the existing product. The first iteration of AI detection is available to all faculty and surfaces as an addition to the Similarity Report. The indicator will show what percent of the text contained in the document may have been generated by an AI writing tool. It is important to note that AI similarity is not absolute and should only be used as a tool at this stage. ET&S has made this tool available to faculty, but we do not provide any specific recommendations on use. We do recommend consulting with your instructional designers on your campus if you have concerns about assignments and AI work.
