AI Detection Resources

Do not depend on AI detection tools to address the use of generative AI in your assignments. They are unreliable and easy to circumvent, and also generate many false positives. If you do use an AI detection tool on student writing, we suggest using at least two AI detection tools and comparing the results. Then use these results as a conversation starter with learners. Falsely accusing students of cheating with generative AI can quickly damage a learner's reputation, as well as your own, and negatively impact the classroom culture and community.

ASU & UCLA have both opted out of TII’s AI detection for now. Others like the University of Kansas caution faculty. The UM System has summarized their concerns and includes videos from TurnItIn on how the detection works. Here’s a Washington Post article on the efficacy of TurnItIn’s detection and how the company views the feature as a means to prompt a conversation with students instead of an accusation.
