conducted by Tyton Partners** also found that nearly half of the students surveyed have used generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, monthly, weekly or daily. Additionally, the survey** found 75 percent of these students said they will continue to use the technology even if faculty or institutions ban it. Students and instructors have gained a new tool that can help promote transparency and develop critical thinking skills. The use of generative AI has grown over the past year with more growth to come.

Since its launch, Turnitin's AI writing detection feature has been recognized as an innovative edtech solution, supporting academic integrity in an ever-changing educational landscape. The feature was shortlisted by the 2024 Bett Awards in the "AI in education" category and named Best in Show by Tech & Learning at ISTE 2023.

Turnitin has been a leader in academic integrity for more than 25 years. Turnitin's dedicated AI engineering team began working on a detection solution more than two years prior to the launch of ChatGPT and was able to launch its new feature within months of the OpenAI's generative AI application release. The tool integrates the AI writing report within the existing Turnitin workflow, providing educators with an overall percentage of the document that AI writing tools, like ChatGPT, may have generated. It is available within Turnitin Originality, Turnitin Feedback Studio with Originality and iThenticate 2.0 with AI writing detection.

*As of March 21, 2024.
**Turnitin was a partner in providing compensation to conduct Tyton's GenAI in Higher Education: Fall 2023 Update Time for Class Study.
