Important Notification

Turnitin β€“ the anti-plagiarism LTI installed in UNF’s instance of Canvas – recently added an AI-Detection feature described by the vendor as having the ability to β€œevaluate student writing for the presence of AI-generated text.” UNF has not turned this feature on because, while the creators of various AI-Detection tools assert that they can accurately identify AI-generated content with 98% to 99% accuracy, third-party evaluations reveal higher rates of false positives associated with these tools. CIRT’s own internal testing also revealed high rates of false negatives (instances in which tools fail to detect the use of artificial intelligence altogether).

The below RSS feed aggregates recent status-related news from many of the tools used by UNF instructors. The feed is provided for convenience and the information within should be taken with some caution (not everything here may be relevant to our Canvas installation). Furthermore, not every third-party tool provides public status information. So, this list may be incomplete. If you are experiencing issues with a particular product or service, or if you have any questions about updates posted by a third-party, please email cirtlab@unf.edu and let us know.
