💡AI detection

AI detection in this context refers to the use of artificial intelligence to identify and report on AI-generated content, particularly in academic work. It is a tool that helps to ensure originality and prevent plagiarism. In the video, the speaker announces that AI detection reports are no longer available under the standard Turnitin license, which is a significant change for users relying on this feature.

It compares documents against a vast database of academic papers, articles, and web content. In the video, Turnitin is the platform that the speaker is discussing, specifically regarding changes to its AI detection feature.

💡Originality license

The Originality license is a premium service offered by Turnitin that provides additional features, including AI writing detection. It is a separate, paid service that institutions must subscribe to in order for their users to access the full range of Turnitin's capabilities, such as AI detection reports. The video emphasizes that this license is now required to view AI scores and reports.

💡Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's work or ideas without giving them proper credit, which is considered unethical and is often prohibited in academic settings. The video script discusses the availability of plagiarism reports under the standard Turnitin license, even after the changes to AI detection access.

💡Institute

In the context of the video, 'Institute' refers to educational institutions such as schools, colleges, or universities that use Turnitin services for their students. The speaker addresses the potential issue that many institutes may not have purchased the Originality add-on, leading to difficulties in accessing AI detection reports.

💡AI score

An AI score is a numerical value generated by Turnitin's AI detection system, which indicates the likelihood that a document has been written by an AI rather than a human. This score is a key feature of the AI detection report, and the video explains that it is now only accessible with the Originality license.

Reports in this context refer to the detailed documents generated by Turnitin that provide information on the originality and potential plagiarism of submitted work.
