# Turnitin’s AI Writing Detection Feature

Turnitin has introduced a new feature in the Similarity Report that specifically identifies similarities originating from AI sources, such as ChatGPT.

1. **Go to Moodle at** [https://mylms.ajman.ac.ae/](https://mylms.ajman.ac.ae/).
2. **Access** the Turnitin assignment within your course. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/image-0FLCKT55.png)
3. **Navigate** to the desired submission, then **click the similarity percentage**. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/image%28345%29.png)

          Note:

          

- Turnitin can detect AI writing only in documents submitted in English.
- Turnitin will automatically conduct AI detection checks for assignments submitted after the feature’s launch (April 4th, 2023).
- Previously submitted assignments (before April 4th, 2023) can only be checked if they are re-submitted in Moodle or Turnitin.

1. You will now be redirected to the Turnitin portal to view the similarity report.

          Note:

          

- The AI indicator displays the overall percentage of the document generated by AI writing tools, such as ChatGPT. In this example, it shows 100%.
- The AI indicator and report are visible only to instructors and system administrators.
- The AI indicator is linked to the AI report.

1. Click the AI indicator to view the AI report.

2. Upon accessing the AI report, you can view the percentage and the highlighted text identified by Turnitin as AI-generated content.

          Note:

          

- Turnitin identifies content as AI-written when there is at least a 98% confidence level that it was generated by an AI system.
- Students do not have access to the AI writing detection indicator and its report.
