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. For example, 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%. Also, you see this result 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 other general text parameters of AI-detection models, allows professors to get an accurate percentage result and a high-quality, reliable report.
Why AI cheating is a problem?
AI misuse is unethical and disrespectful towards the educators, violates academic integrity, and breaks university honour code. Besides, it harms the student who cheats, hindering progress and creativity skills development:
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, in Google Docs via add-on, 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 (by a deep check of the writing style, it detects texts written by the student themselves and texts written for them by essay mill/someone else)
– AI detector (detects % of AI-generated content in student works)
