Turnitin's AI Detection Tool
AI writing tools are software programs powered by artificial intelligence that can generate human-like text in seconds. While these tools may seem convenient, using them to complete assignments may violate college’s academic integrity policy and undermine your learning process. To ensure fairness and promote authentic learning, we are introducing a new Turnitin AI detection tool. This tool will analyse submitted work to identify text that may have been generated by AI.
What does this mean for you?
Always check with your teacher before you use an AI assistant for any academic task.
If the AI tools are not allowed by your lecturer, please be aware that:
- when you submit your essay to Turnitin, the AI detection tool will analyse your work to identify potential AI-generated text
- your teacher will see the results and contact you if your work has been flagged as AI-generated
- remember, no tool is perfect, and there may be instances of AI incorrectly recognises your own work as AI generated. If your work is flagged, you'll have the chance to clarify it with your teacher.
