Turnitin AI detection tool finds one-in-ten reviewed papers are at least 20% AI writing

Turnitin recently announced that its AI detection tool has reviewed over 65 million papers for AI-written text since its launch in April. In that time, the tool determined that six million papers (10.3% of all reviewed) contained at least 20% AI written text and over two million (3.3%) were flagged as containing 80% or more AI-written text. Campus Technology reports that the usage of AI-written text is not inherently misconduct, as this rate does not take into account whether AI usage is acceptable to educators who used the tool or what the stipulations on its usage may be.
