Turnitin Turns On AI Writing Detection Capabilities for Educators and Institutions


New capabilities in the existing Turnitin workflow give educators highly accurate insights into the presence of AI-generated text for more than 62 million students

OAKLAND, Calif. – Starting tomorrow, Turnitin - a leading provider of academic integrity solutions globally - will activate its AI writing detection capabilities. The technology identifies the use of AI writing tools including ChatGPT, with 98 percent confidence, enabling educators to analyze and review the authenticity of academic work.

Turnitin began working on detection capabilities for GPT3, the underlying technology on which many AI writing applications are based, nearly two years prior to the release of ChatGPT. Built to help educators and academic institutions identify AI-generated text in student-written submissions, Turnitin's AI writing detection capabilities are integrated into existing Turnitin systems and accessible through learning management systems, and does not require additional steps for current Turnitin educator users to access. Over 10,700 institutions and more than 2.1 million educators will be able to quickly and easily evaluate a submission for the presence of AI-generated text and provide feedback to students in their current Turnitin workflows.
