    Canvas, an online learning platform, recently implemented a system to detect the use of ChatGPT, a natural language processing model. This new feature aims to ensure a safe and authentic learning environment for users, by identifying any fraudulent or unauthorized interactions with chatbots.<\/p>\n\n\n

    The rise of generative AI and the challenges for education<\/h2>\n\n\n

    The rise of theGenerative AI<\/strong> as ChatGPT brings new challenges, especially in the educational context. While these language patterns can boost productivity and learning, they also raise questions about how to prevent academic cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Detection tools on Canvas<\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n\"learn\n<\/figure>\n\n\n

    Canvas cannot specifically detect essays originating from ChatGPT<\/strong>, but it can differentiate human writing from that generated by an AI. A key tool in this regard is SimCheck<\/strong>, a plugin developed by TurnItIn. SimCheck analyzes submitted work by comparing it to a large database of online resources to detect similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n

    How does SimCheck work?<\/h2>\n\n\n

    SimCheck uses a robust text matching algorithm to identify significant overlaps between a student\u2019s work and existing sources. It also offers AI detection to help teachers spot content that may have been created or paraphrased by an AI.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Limitations of SimCheck<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Despite its usefulness, no AI detector is truly 100% accurate. There are risks of false positives<\/strong> where students can be wrongly accused of using an AI. The burden of proof often falls on students, which can cause significant harm.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Ways to detect AI use without specific tools<\/h2>\n\n\n

    In addition to using tools like SimCheck, teachers can pay attention to telltale signs in student behavior and assignment writing. For example :<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n\n
    • Unusual activity<\/strong> : Canvas can detect suspicious behavior such as off-page navigation or copying and pasting of external texts.<\/li>\n\n\n
    • Writing analysis<\/strong> : Seasoned teachers can often identify AI-generated writing due to certain hallmarks such as excessive use of transition words or lists.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

      Possible loopholes for students<\/h2>\n\n\n

      Some methods allow students to bypass AI detectors:<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n\n
      • Manual adjustments<\/strong> : Slightly edit the text to erase markers that might be detected by the AI.<\/li>\n\n\n
      • AI Bypasses<\/strong> : Use paraphrasing tools that rewrite content so that it is not identified as AI-generated.<\/li>\n\n\n
      • Prompt Engineering<\/strong> : Give specific instructions to the AI \u200b\u200bto generate text that is harder to detect.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
