Nearly two years ago, ChatGPT’s AI writing powers set off a firestorm in classrooms. How would teachers be able to determine which assignments were actually authored by the student? A host of AI-powered services answered the call. Today, there are even more services promising to catch AI cheaters. But teachers aren’t necessarily jumping on board. Instead, they’re returning to a more traditional solution: pen and paper. No phones, no laptops, no Chromebooks. Just a student and their (biological, not silicon) memory. My own kids — one in a California middle school, the other in high school — aren’t happy about it. “My hand cramped up so much,” my eldest son complained about his AP World History course he took last year, and the requirement to handwrite all papers and tests because of AI concerns. My younger son groaned aloud when I read him his middle-school science requirements for the 2024-25 school year: Write the assignment down on paper and then, if needed, type it up. But his teacher was clear. “While AI offers significant potential benefits, middle-school students may not have the maturity or background needed to use it effectively,” she wrote in a note to parents. The AI detectors So why bother with old-fashioned methods when, as noted, a number of AI detectors exist? Contentatscale.ai, GPTzero.me, Winston.ai, and more, offer free or subscription-subsidized AI detection services. Upload the content, and they’ll tell you whether AI wrote the words. Paid sites, such as TurnItIn, offer more sophisticated detection services for larger fees. The services are designed to step in and play the role of a traffic cop, flagging AI-generated essays but letting truly original content through. If AI-powered tools to detect AI were foolproof, it all might work. But they’re not. To date, the teachers and professors I interviewed said they haven’t found a totally accurate way of detecting AI-generated content. The lack of certainty undermines the validity of any accusation a teacher might make. And with potentially thousands of dollars of tuition on the line, a charge of plagiarism is a big risk for everyone involved. Pixabay via Pexels Pixabay via Pexels Pixabay via Pexels AI checkers aren’t smart enough, teachers say AI detection tools never got off to a good start. In 2023, OpenAI released its first AI checker, Classifier. Developed by OpenAI after its release of ChatGPT, Classifier identified 26 percent of AI-authored text as human, and said it could be fooled if AI-authored text was edited or modified. “Our Classifier is not fully reliable,” OpenAI said, point blank. Classifier was retired seven months later “due to its low rate of accuracy,” OpenAI said. Just a short time ago, OpenAI took another stab at detection, citing two methods — watermarking AI content and labeling it with metadata — as potential solutions. But watermarks can be avoided by simply rewriting the content, the company said. A tool to apply the second method, metadata, has yet to be released. Such inaccuracy has made some schools gun shy about using AI detection. Bill Vacca, director of instructional technology at Mohonasen Central School District in New York said that he hasn’t found any qualified AI checkers. “And I’ve tried them all,” he said. There are numerous problems, Vacca said. For one, the constant updates to ChatGPT and other AI tools means that AI checkers need to constantly respond. Some sites stay up, then unexpectedly vanish, he said. Furthermore, the sites’ results don’t always instill confidence. Instead of definitively stating that a piece of content is “100 percent AI,” the sites can offer a wishy-washy 50 percent or 25 percent recommendation. That’s not good enough. According to Vacca, those scores aren’t good enough to justify using an AI checking site. “It’s too hard to determine. And that’s when we realized that it’s not as simple as we thought it would be.” Winston.ai, an AI checker, delivers an absolutely definitive statement on this passage’s authorship. And it’s right! But teachers say this isn’t always the case. Winston.ai, an AI checker, delivers an absolutely definitive statement on this passage’s authorship. And it’s right! But teachers say this isn’t always the case. Winston.ai, an AI checker, delivers an absolutely definitive statement on this passage’s authorship. And it’s right! But teachers say this isn’t always the case. John Behrens, the director of the office of digital strategy at the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame, agrees. “People have to be very clear about the statistical capabilities of those detectors, and I’ve seen some of those detectors that are worse than nothing,” he said. “I mean, statistically worse than not using anything.” Another factor is that uploading a student’s content without permission can violate school, state, or even federal rules, such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA. San Jose State University in California doesn’t use AI detection tools, according to Carol-Lynn Perez, a senior lecturer in SJSU’s Communication Studies department that PCWorld spoke with. Perez cited a May email sent by Heather Lattimer, the dean of SJSU’s College of Education and the interim provost of undergraduate education, which stated that uploading a student’s work violates two university policies and possibly FERPA. Lattimer also noted the risk of false positives in her email. The university provides its own AI detection tool within Canvas, SJSU’s learning management system, and lets students know that the faculty has access to it. But Canvas can be used “only as a jumping-off point to start a conversation with our students about AI usage, and not as definitive proof that they have used AI,” Perez said in an email. Ardea Caviggiola Russo, the director of the office of academic standards at Notre Dame, said that the university looks for “red flags,” such as sources that don’t exist, content not covered in class, advanced terminology, and a general inability of the student to discuss their own work. “Regarding AI detectors, we opted not to turn on Turnitin’s AI detector when it was made available last year, mostly because of the concern about false positives that you mentioned,” Russo said in an email. “And also, we just felt like we didn’t know enough about the AI detection tools generally to use them responsibly. Now, my office does subscribe to a detector that we use if a professor is suspicious of a student’s work for whatever reason, but even a 100 percent likelihood isn’t enough on its own for an accusation, in my opinion.” In a statement, Turnitin agreed. “At Turnitin, our guidance is, and has always been, that there is no substitute for knowing a student, their writing style, and their educational background,” the company said in an emailed statement. “AI detection tools, like Turnitin’s AI writing detection feature, are resources, not deciders. Educators should always make final determinations based on all of the information available to them.” Do AI checkers actually work? To be fair, some of the AI detection services do seem to work. I copied the text of an editorial I had written about Logitech’s concept of a “forever mouse,” removed the captions and subheadings, and dropped the text into several AI detection services, many of which are free for basic scans. They included Contentatscale.ai, GPTzero.me, Winston.ai, CopyLeaks’ AI Content Detector, Originality.AI, Writer.com’s AI Content Detector, Scribbr’s AI Content Detector, Sapling.ai’s AI Detector, ZeroGPT.com, and ContentDetector.AI. (Thanks to BestColleges.com’s list of AI detection tools.) Of the 11 tools, all but one identified the content as human-authored, and by enormous margins — all gave a less than 10 percent chance that it was generated by AI. The exception: Originality.ai, which returned a 93 percent chance that the copy was AI-authored. I then asked ChatGPT for a five-paragraph essay on the effects of the French Revolution on world politics. Every single service identified the content as clearly AI-generated, save for Writer.com, which said that ChatGPT’s essay had a 71 percent chance of being written by a human. Some services are trying to split the difference. Grammarly’s new Authorship service, for example, tries to identify which words are original, which are AI-generated, and which are edited by AI — with the idea that students may combine elements of each. Grammarly Grammarly Grammarly A better way to detect AI: Work with the student So how do you fight AI? Teachers say that the best way to tell if a student is cheating using AI is to understand the student, and their work. And when in doubt, ask them to prove it. “The simple solution was take out a piece of paper, and ask them to show me how you are solving this,” Vacca said. “That killed [the issue of] a lot of the students cheating. “They’ve tried things like dumbing down their answers, but it’s still easy enough to detect that it’s not their exact writing,” Vacca added. Perez agreed. “When there is concern about unethical usage of AI in the classroom, we should do due diligence in our investigation,” she said. “First, we need to familiarize ourselves with each individual student’s writing. Second, we should compare the material we feel is AI generated with their initial writing so we can see if the grammar, sentence structure, and writing style are consistent with the students writing. Third, we need to either chat with the student face to face or through email so we can get their version of what occurred.” Pexels/ Yan Krukau Pexels/ Yan Krukau Pexels/ Yan Krukau Perez said she read a student paper that an AI tool indicated had a 90 percent probability of being AI-generated content, and that sounded “very mechanical.” She emailed the student and asked for an explanation, and the student denied using AI. She then followed up via video. “During the video call I asked the student to speak about the content of the paper, and they could not speak about the paper or the content of the course up until that point, which proved to me that the AI detection was correct,” Perez added. “I requested the student rewrite the paper in their own words, and they were reported to the university for further sanctions.” Teachers that I spoke to said they don’t like being placed in an adversarial role, and would rather focus on what they do best: teaching. Nathaniel Myers, an associate teaching professor at Notre Dame, said he’d rather create “a space where students feel comfortable being transparent, so that we can think through these things together.” SJSU’s Perez said a number of professors involved in Facebook groups tailored to AI in the classroom have reported mental health issues, and that it was demoralizing to see so much unethical AI use in the classroom, creating even less job satisfaction. The pressure, though, falls on both teachers and their students, and both are also turning to AI to ease their burden. “What you’re trying to do is pit AI versus AI,” Nitesh Chawla, a professor of computer science and engineering at Notre Dame, said. “One AI is creating content. The other AI is trying to detect if some other AI created that content. You’re pitting them against each other. I don’t even know what that means!” Read...

Can AI be used ethically for school work? It depends upon who you ask — quite literally. That’s because less than two years after ChatGPT was originally released in November 2022, the attitudes towards AI in the classroom still vary widely. High schools have viewed AI as a crutch at best, and at worst as a tool for cheating. But several universities leave generative AI use entirely up to the discretion of the person teaching the course. In general, however, the answer boils down to a single golden rule: Students should develop their own answers, incorrect or not. Any AI assistance — from editing to research to actual writing — may be seen as a violation of an academic honor code that some schools require. If AI is used, the thinking now is that it should be cited, like a footnote. ‘AI’ usage depends on how you define it AI doesn’t refer to just any one thing. Generative AI “chatbots” include Anthropic’s Claude, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Then there are the supplemental AI services like Khan Academy’s Khanmigo ($4/mo for families and individuals), which acts as a supplementary tutor and shies away from providing “the answers” directly to the student. AI art plays a role, but to a small extent. The Los Angeles School District spent over $3 million commissioning its own scheduling and tutoring AI assistant, “Ed,” but then shut it down after major layoffs at the tool’s developer. Some schools are even using AI to develop lesson plans. A demonstration of how Khamigo works, by Khan Academy. All of these tools have their own strengths and weaknesses, including writing code and summarizing complex topics. Some pull “live” answers from the Internet, which is good for research. But not all AI tools cite their sources, and AI that can “hallucinate” answers still exists. All of this plays a role in whether an AI tool should be used for education. Finally, governments are placing their own restrictions on what students can or cannot do with AI. Uploading personal information, test scores, or texts to AI might be literally prohibited by data-privacy laws. As of February 2024, for example, only Microsoft Copilot is officially allowed at Ohio State University, according to its resource center. At high school, AI is often seen as a cheat Bing Image Creator Bing Image Creator Bing Image Creator High schools and universities seem to treat AI differently, with high-school teachers taking a much more hands-on, supervisory role. Still, high schools seem to have a less comprehensive policy on using AI than major universities. In California, Los Angeles schools banked on “Ed,” but right now AI use there seems to be in limbo. Neither San Jose nor the San Francisco Unified School District has a formal policy on generative AI, but San Francisco acknowledges that “blocking AI tools will not prevent their use” and “these tools will be prevalent in our students’ future.” That’s not the case at Mohonasen Central School District in New York, where AI services like ChatGPT have been blocked from school computers because of the temptation to cheat. “ChatGPT, we view as the most basic of AI for education,” said Bill Vacca, director of instructional technology there. “ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot: phenomenal for real-world use cases, like if you want to learn how to write a business letter, or make a pitch for your company. But in terms of education, they can be the most dangerous in terms of having students cheat.” Vacca said that his district was “very out front” in terms of encouraging AI, with full-day lessons on how to utilize AI and its importance. But teachers were scared of the implications and wanted nothing to do with AI, he said. “Our biggest teacher pushback was how do we prevent students from cheating?” Over time, Vacca said, teachers have become more familiar with AI, and have approached him specifically about using AI in the classroom. So have students, although he said that isn’t a majority. This year, the Mohonasen Central district will trial Khanmigo with a small group of teachers, emphasizing math, and using the Khanmigo tools to help assess how the students have progressed. A key Khanmigo selling point is that the tool doesn’t give “the answers,” but helps the student work toward the correct solution. So can AI be ethically used in high schools? Vacca said he sees both sides. “I was interested in when the calculator came out in classrooms,” Vacca said. “I was thinking about that, and it’s the same exact same thing. You had people debating where calculators were going, and if we even needed to teach how to do basic multiplication. And we’re seeing that now. But [AI] is only a couple of years old, and the calculator has been out for decades.” The goal is to bring AI in to help students learn, and that’s what teachers at all levels appear to be wrestling with. “In a third-grade classroom, you’re not bringing a calculator out to do your math,” Vacca said. “You’re going to learn it. But when you get into the higher grades, you can use it to help create something even more extraordinary.” Colleges have a much more freewheeling approach Bing Image Creator Bing Image Creator Bing Image Creator Colleges are taking a more hands-off approach to AI. But Vacca’s feelings about it were echoed by John Behrens, director of the office of digital strategy in the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame, especially as students make the transition from the senior years of high school to the early years of college. “The first reaction from a lot of people, especially people that have been using computers for a long time, people later in their career, their first reaction was oh, this is a cheating tool,” Behrens said. But it’s not that simple, he added. “If you’re teaching a beginning language class, ChatGPT is going to be better than the students,” Behrens said. “It might not be appropriate for users learning to translate, because then it’s just replacing the students’ learning process. But if you have really advanced students, then they’re probably going to be as good as ChatGPT. And there you want to use ChatGPT to make work and activities and interactions that are expanding what you can do with the students.” “It’s a complex environment, because most instructors have very little idea how it works and how best to use it right now,” Behrens added. Most U.S. universities haven’t put any hard and fast rules on the use of AI by students in the classroom. Instead, virtually all of the AI policies reviewed by PCWorld leave the issue entirely up to the professor teaching the course, from banning it entirely to encouraging its use. Of several university academic policies regarding AI — which included Harvard, Notre Dame, Ohio State, UC Berkeley and Stanford — only Stanford issued an umbrella statement stating that when there is any doubt with regards to students using AI, the answer is no. “Absent a clear statement from a course instructor, use of or consultation with generative AI shall be treated analogously to assistance from another person,” Stanford’s Generative AI Policy Guidance states, dated Feb. 2023. “In particular, using generative AI tools to substantially complete an assignment or exam (e.g. by entering exam or assignment questions) is not permitted.” Some professors have used their academic freedom to seize upon the opportunities AI can offer. “I received criticism when I first started incorporating AI into my classroom setting, with other professors letting me know that I was doing a disservice to my students by teaching them about how to use AI in higher education,” Carol-Lynn Perez, a senior lecturer in communication studies at San Jose State, said. “What they failed to realize early on is that AI is here to stay, and it is only going to get more advanced as the months roll ahead. In just the couple of years AI has been around our students have been far ahead of the game, and if we don’t make friends with it, we will be left behind.” There’s also the concern about keeping up with the real world, said Nitesh Chawla, a professor of computer science and engineering at Notre Dame. In class, computer science students can use AI to create 60 percent of the code, allowing the professor can move on to a higher-level topic that the class would never have had time to cover…because the students would be writing the code, instead. Yet an employer would almost certainly demand the use of AI if it could save the company time and money, he said. “So is a student graduating from [a university] where AI is banned…going to be at a detriment in the workforce when the student joins? We don’t have an answer to that yet,” Chawla said. How and when to use AI in school work Bing Image Creator Bing Image Creator Bing Image Creator Relying on AI isn’t always the best choice. In one recent paper primarily authored by researchers at the U. of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, about 1,000 high-school students were divided up into groups and asked to take a math test. One group was allowed to take the test assisted by what was essentially ChatGPT-4. The tool provided incorrect answers about half of the time, and yet students who were polled felt that they didn’t do any worse using the tool than they would otherwise. AI, put simply, can be a crutch, the study concluded. “These results suggest that while access to generative AI can improve performance, it can substantially inhibit learning,” it said. Perez noted that AI also has several flaws: AI hallucinates, can be racist or sexist, will make up citations, and can easily give the wrong information along with a lack of depth and absence of human nuance. But students still prefer information in short, manageable chunks. “The creative process can begin with AI, but what students fail to realize a lot of times is that it cannot interpret problems or offer creative decisions like a human can,” Perez said. Educators seem to agree that you shouldn’t use AI to create work that you pass off as your own. Instead, if you are going to use AI in class, treat it like any other source of information. “As an early adopter I routinely tell my students that AI should be cited like a peer-reviewed journal article,” Perez said. ” When something is not written in your own words, it must be cited. Higher education is still figuring out this piece of the puzzle, but my motto is, ‘When in doubt, cite it out.`” Miriam Scott, a secondary education teacher in Australia, provides guidelines to students on how to incorporate generative AI into their schoolwork. Style guides are now beginning to accommodate the new reality by including footnote rules for citing AI-generated content, such as in this summary from the Canton State University of New York. The problem, though, is the middle ground. Nathaniel Myers, an associate teaching professor at Notre Dame who will be teaching a course titled “Advanced Writing and Rhetoric: Writing in the Age of AI” this fall, says he worries about even using AI as an editing tool. “The example that I’ve experienced myself is, if I’ve asked it to fix grammar, it will instead affect things that are more than just sort of simply grammatical choices,” Myers said. Myers referred to work done by Anna Mills, an instructor at Cañada College, who has raised concerns about a writer’s voice becoming “blurry” when AI is applied to improve their draft. AI can replace a specific point of view or style with a much more generic approach, Myers said, citing Mills. That can be a problem, for example, when a writing style associated with a specific point of view, such as a minority, becomes generalized via AI. To Chawla, the time is right to have these discussions. “Kids know [AI] in middle school, kids know it in high school,” Chawla said. “Kids know it in elementary school. And in school, they are being taught not to use it, at least in my children’s schools. They’re being told not to use it at the school — and at the same time, they’re figuring their own way out of what is and what is not appropriate use of these technologies. “AI is as mainstream as it gets.” Further reading: The AI PC revolution: 18 essential terms you need to know Read...
