There has been much discussion of the role of AI writing detectors. The issue has become more urgent for us with Turnitin announcing the imminent release of an AI detector. At the moment we’ve very little information about the Turnitin offering, other than the detail in the press release, where it claims 97% accuracy (recall) […]

So you’ve heard about ChatGPT and want to explore it but don’t know where to start? This is the first in a short series of blog posts giving some pointers on how to get going. In this series we’ll look at potential timesaving examples around creating lesson/course plans, quizzes and getting feedback on your writing. […]
We are seeing the first guidance to students on the use of ChatGPT and AI tools in assessment starting to emerge. Getting terminology correct on this is a little challenging, so we are going to explore this. Much of the guidance is, for the time being at least, telling students not to use AI in […]
In our webinar before Christmas, we suggested that “A war between AI plagiarism detection software and generative AI won’t help anyone“ We want to share a quick example that shows why this might be the case. For this experiment, we are using GPTZeroX, which has recently been updated. Our aim isn’t to call out a […]
Summary Bias can be defined as AI that is systematically unfair to certain groups of people The data that ChatGPT is trained on contains many forms of bias. OpenAI have tried to mitigate this by introducing human feedback in the training. This prevents some of the worse behaviour seen in previous chatbots such as Microsoft’s […]
Last week we hosted a webinar looking at how artificial intelligence has the potential to disrupt student assessment. In this post we reflect on the event and share some of the ideas generated and questions asked. The topic certainly seems to be of wide interested, with over 130 attendees. We started with a quick poll […]
There’s no doubt that GPT-3 and other generative AI models are hugely impressive. We have shown how it could write a reasonably good short essay in a previous blog post and shown how to explore its ability to generate impressive images another post. Impressive as they are, it’s important to understand the limitations of these […]
