Demo of Turnitin

 In this video, Dr. Moore from the University of Texas at Dallas demonstrates Turnitin's new AI detection tool by submitting a ChatGPT-generated memo, highlighting its effectiveness and considerations for academic integrity.


Key Points for Educators

AI Detection Accuracy: Turnitin's tool flagged the AI-generated memo with a 100% AI detection score, though similarity scoring focused on matched sources rather than AI use.

  • Instructor Review Caution: The tool provides a "caution" alert, urging instructors to review flagged content as AI detection alone may not confirm misconduct.

  • Assignment Design Suggestions: Dr. Moore recommends that educators consider adapting rubrics or assignment guidelines to help prevent unauthorized AI use and encourage authentic student work.
