Similarity-checking program ‘Turnitin’ can now detect AI-generated writing.
If you need to check a document’s originality, try to check the similarity score and Turnitin’s AI indicator.
- AI Writing Detection
- It detects how much of a paper is generated from generative AI tools. It can help instructors gain insights on how much of a student’s submission is authentic, human writing versus AI-generated from ChatGPT or other tools.
- Accuracy of AI Detection: 98% – AI indicator only flags something as AI-written when they are 98% sure it is written by AI.
- Only English documents can be detected. Non-English papers will be available to detect in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- How to Use (※ Only the INSTRUCTOR account can see the AI indicator)
- Submit a paper on the Turnitin website or BlackBoard system.
- When it generates the similarity score, click the score to view the report.
- You can check the ‘AI indicator’ on the report page.
