(16 Apr 2023) Australian universities are split on whether to adopt a new tool which claims to detect AI-generated plagiarism with a near-perfect success rate, citing concerns over out-of-date models and the minimal notice the sector was given to assess the issue.
Turnitin’s detection tool, launched this month, cites a 98% efficacy rate at picking up the “high probability” of AI.
Of almost a dozen universities who responded to Guardian Australia, the University of Melbourne, the University of New South Wales and Western Sydney University have adopted the tool and several were considering integrating it into their detection programs.
The Guardian has the news in full.
