Educators will have to rethink traditional assessment strategies, as simply checking for identical text against a database may no longer be sufficient. Instead, they can provide open-ended assignments that require critical thinking and analysis skills, making it difficult for AI-generated content to meet the requirements. ChatGPT, and AI language models alike, have the ability to produce content that is grammatically correct, coherent, and contextually relevant. This mask of plausibility can make it significantly challenging for detection systems, including SafeAssign, to flag AI work as potentially non-original. Perhaps as we work to integrate it meaningfully and ethically, and teach students how to cite its use, students will feel less compelled to disguise AI-generated writing. ChatGPT, a new artificial intelligence tool capable of generating essays and writing code, is raising concerns about virtually undetectable cheating and changing the way professors give assignments.
However, it has also introduced challenges, particularly in detecting AI-generated content in academic assignments. With advanced AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT becoming increasingly accessible, educators are struggling with ensuring academic integrity while embracing technological advancements. Yes, Canvas, like other LMS platforms, can integrate plagiarism detection tools that might identify ChatGPT-generated content.
However, it’s important to recognize that while it can produce text that resembles human writing, it may sometimes lack the depth and coherence that only a skilled human writer can provide. This confusion highlights how plagiarism detection is changing in light of advances in artificial intelligence. SafeAssign is a useful tool for detecting plagiarism
