Turnitin is currently unable to allow individual instructors to enable this feature. Our priority is to understand how this feature would align with academic expectations, accessibility, and the proper protection of the community’s privacy and security.ĭue to concerns and unanswered questions around this new feature, we have temporarily opted out of having it enabled (as have many of our peer institutions within the UC system and across higher education). We believe it is important to address many questions about how it is best used, what limitations it has, and how its conclusions are interpreted to ensure fairness and transparency. Turnitin informed the public of this 'preview' feature two weeks prior to its availability, which did not provide sufficient time for the university to engage with its governance bodies to review and discuss the major changes introduced by this feature. Today Turnitin released a “preview” feature designed to detect the possible presence of AI-generated text in student work, adding to the product’s longstanding functionalities designed to detect plagiarism. Academic and Administrative leadership are committed to providing the community opportunities to engage and research this new feature to determine how it fits into UCLA's educational landscape.Pending further investigation, UCLA has temporarily opted out of this feature.

The feature is “trained” on OpenAI’s Large Language Models GPT-3 and 3.5, but not on more recent versions.Today Turnitin released a “preview” feature designed to detect the possible presence of AI-generated text in student-submitted work.To: Faculty, Instructors and Teaching Assistants
