Turnitin is now able to detect AI-generated content amid rising threats posed by AI bypassers  

Turnitin, a leading provider of technology solutions in academic integrity, is introducing AI bypasser detection to its existing AI writing detection capabilities, designed to help educators detect text that may have been intentionally modified by AI humanizer tools.

These latest updates ensure that Turnitin keeps pace with the evolving LLM landscape, according to the company.

The new bypasser detection capability is integrated seamlessly with Turnitin's overall AI writing detection capabilities and when enabled, educators can automatically check submissions for likely AI-generated content as well as content that may have been further modified by leading bypassers without the need for additional integrations or outside tools that could pose data or security risks.

Turnitin’s AI bypasser detection enables educators to uphold academic integrity detecting AI-generated content even if it's been modified by bypassers, with the sole aim of evading detection, the company said.

"While cheating has always been a concern of educators, with the rise of AI, there has been a new category formed of cheating providers. These companies exist to profit from students' misuse of AI by providing free and easy access to humanizers to conceal AI-generated content," said Annie Chechitelli, chief product officer, Turnitin. "In service of our ongoing commitment to AI writing transparency, we’ve updated our software to detect leading AI bypasser modifications so educators can uphold academic integrity against this emerging challenge." 

Turnitin’s AI bypasser detection is now available as part of Turnitin’s AI writing detection capabilities within the Turnitin Originality add-on and AI capabilities add-on for iThenticate 2.0 customers.
