Teachers and school administrators have struggled with two big questions: should the use of generative AI be banned? And should a school implement new tools to detect when students have used generative AI? EFF believes the answer to both of these questions is no.
Tools such as GPTZero and TurnItIn that use AI detection claim that they can determine (with varying levels of accuracy) whether a student's writing was likely to have been created by a generative AI tool. But these detection tools are so inaccurate as to be dangerous, and have already led to false charges of plagiarism.
Instead of demonizing it, schools should help students by teaching them how this potentially useful technology works and when it's appropriate to use it. There is often no source document to prove one way or another whether a student used AI in writing.
