Plus, a Thai Police Colonel is busted cheating on an exam to be a Judge. Plus, a provost at WVU talks about academic integrity and AI in online classes.

Like so many things in our world, our well-intentioned efforts to solve one problem usher in a legion of new challenges, and AI detection is no different.

OK. I've seen a lot of stuff about "AI Detectors" lately. Seriously, if you are still using an AI Detector, you are hurting yourself and your students. AI Detectors are: 1. Completely fallible—both directions. AI Detectors will tell you a student isn't using AI when they are, and they will tell you that a student is using AI when they aren't. 2. Easily fooled. 3. Discriminatory against ESL, disabled, and economically disadvantaged students. 4. Create an environment of mistrust that is not conducive to learning. Here are the receipts: “AI Detectors Don’t Work.

I argued against use of AI detection in college classrooms for two years, but my perspective has shifted. I ran into the limits of my current approaches last semester, when a first-year writing student persisted in submitting work that was clearly not his own, presenting document history that showed

Is your text AI-generated? If so, it may need to be revised to remove AI plagiarism. Submitting AI-plagiarized content to search engines, assignments, research papers, and similar platforms is not advisable. 

Humanize AI text into undetectable AI. Bypass AI detection with the world's best AI detection remover and AI Humanizer. Free AI detector works with GPTZero, Turnitin, Originality AI, and more.

About two-thirds of teachers report regularly using tools for detecting AI-generated content. At that scale, even tiny error rates can add up quickly.

Why AI Detection Alone Will Fail Students

Do AI detectors really work? You may be surprised. See how seven popular tools fared when put to the test with AI-generated text.

As new tools raise concerns around AI academic integrity, instructors can deter misuse through transparent policies, open discussions with students, assignments that engage intrinsic motivation, and inclusive teaching practices.

When you live in a research/social media bubble like I do, it’s easy to take certain things for granted. For example, I always overestimate the number of people who are using generative AI re…

Mixed performance by AI-detector tools leaves academics with no clear answers.

I've noted before that because AI detectors produce false positives, it's unethical to use them to detect cheating. Now there's a new study that shows it's even worse. Not only do AI detectors falsely flag human-written text as AI-written, the way in which they do it is biased. This is

In April of this year, Turnitin released an update to their product that reviewed submitted papers and presented their determination of how much of a paper was written by AI. As we outlined at that time, many people had important concerns and questions about this new tool, namely how the product exactly works and how...

University of Maryland scholars believe it will never be possible to differentiate between AI-generated text and human-written text.

If you insist on using tools to detect AI-generated text in student work at least do so in an open and transparent way.
