Is it possible to detect whether students use AI tools, like СhatGPT or Gemini when preparing written assignments?

Leading universities employ special software that guarantees reliable results and prevents cheating. In particular, TraceGPT – AI Content Detector by PlagiarismChecker distinguishes sentences written by humans and sentences that match all the signs of AI-generated text. 

Constantly updated algorithms calculate various parameters such as text randomness, entropy, and other linguistic features. Stylometric analysis of text features (vocabulary, structure, context, etc.) allows educational institutions to determine the verdict and obtain reliable percentage reports quickly:

  • Human-written
    The probability of the whole text being human-written is high: ≥70%. There are just a few potentially AI-written sentences: ≤5%
  • Likely Human-written
    The probability of the whole text being human-written is high: ≥70%. There are less than a third of sentences with signs of AI: 5.01-30%
  • AI Content Detected
    The probability of the whole text being human-written is high: ≥70%. However, there are over a third of sentences with signs of AI: 30.01-100%. And also, when “human probability” is 30-69%
  • Likely AI-Generated
    The probability of the whole text being human-written is less than 30%

How can professors detect AI?

Let’s see how fast, accurate, and easy AI detection can be.

After the text of the papers is inserted or downloaded into the system, the tool will provide one of the four verdicts and a detailed percentage report in a few moments. Corresponding sentences will be highlighted in different colors (depending on the level of ​​detected signs): 

  • Highly likely AI
  • Likely AI

Sentences that closely resemble human writing will not be highlighted.

The percentage of potentially AI-generated sentences relative to the entire text, as well as many other general text parameters of AI-detection models, allows professors to get an accurate percentage result and a high-quality, reliable report.

How do universities detect cheating?

AI detector is integrated into the institution’s LMS via API; one can also run AI and plagiarism check on the PlagiarismCheck.org platform or in the browser with the Google Chrome extension. It is important to note that the AI detector can be seamlessly integrated with plagiarism-checking systems, streamlining the process and improving reporting efficiency. In particular, the PlagiarismCheck tool combines three solutions to prevent student cheating:

  – Similarity (plagiarism, paraphrasing, improperly formatted citation of other people’s texts)

  – Fingerprint (thanks to a deep check of the writing style, it detects texts written by the student himself and texts written for him by order/by someone else)

– AI detector (detects % of AI-generated content in student works)
