AI Paraphrase Detection

Integrity in academic writing has become increasingly challenging as technology such as AI-powered tools have proliferated.
Undetectable AI will debut their AI Writing Indicator and Report. Based on more than two decades of experience analyzing academic writing, this report helps instructors differentiate likely AI-generated work from human-written content.

Undetectable AI has implemented an AI paraphrasing feature to address this challenge, expanding on the capabilities of their AI Writing Indicator feature.

Join us and discover how Undetectable AI helps student learning and advance academic standards for both research and education, while supporting academic communities’ efforts in protecting output in an age of AI.

What Is AI Paraphrasing?

AI paraphrasing refers to the act of restating or paraphrasing someone else’s ideas into your own words, in an academic writing context, making information more easily understandable or concise while attributing its original source. Doing this effectively requires knowledge of both material as well as ability to recast its meaning into another way without altering its original intent.

Academic integrity has come under question due to the ease with which these tools can be utilized. Researchers and students may attempt to bypass AI detection software by employing AI paraphrasing software.

How Does AI Paraphrasing Affect Academic Integrity?

AI paraphrasing poses a grave danger to academic integrity. It undermines academic principles by encouraging deceit and dishonesty. As a result, trust and credibility in educational institutions is diminished while original thought and scholarly discussion become less significant.

To avoid detection, AI-generated text can be hidden using masking techniques.

Students and researchers may alter AI-generated texts using AI paraphrasing, making it harder for AI writing detection programs to recognize instances of AI-generated content. Large language models used can mask its origin, leading educators and publishers to believe it is original work.

Writing Skills – Shortcuts

Students who rely on AI paraphrasing tools miss out on developing authentic writing skills, since automated solutions may take priority over engaging in original expression and critical thought – hindering both intellectual development and academic advancement. Students who don’t create original content miss out on experiences which foster creativity, analytical thought and effective communication – experiences which AI paraphrasing tools cannot replicate.

Use Data Insights to Guide Your Next Steps

The AI Writing Report highlights text segments we believe were composed using artificial intelligence tools, including those generated using them and any further modifications using paraphrasing software. Our tool provides data and insight that assessors can use to spark discussion; educators may take advantage of potential misconduct issues to teach their students how to strengthen their writing capabilities while expanding critical-thinking abilities.

AI writing and paraphrasing segments are highlighted with different colors to help educators and users more easily comprehend the results. A bar of highlights on the right-hand side of this report shows an indication of which content may have been generated using artificial intelligence as opposed to what may or may not have been produced using this approach.

Similarity Reports Can Be Integrated Into Your Workflow

AI writing detection is fully integrated with its Similarity Report, giving our users a seamless experience. When AI writing detection (including AI paraphrasing ) is enabled, our software automatically detects both types of AI writing ( including paraphrasing). When enabled, our score indicates the percentage of document that may have been created by AI with additional scores for content likely created using AI as well as potential content that may also have been paraphrased using AI technology – all your AI detection needs can be met safely, securely, and easily under one safe roof that offers easy access.

More Than Just Detection

AI paraphrasing detector serves as a deterrent against students and researchers tempted by AI writing tools, helping maintain academic integrity while encouraging ethical paraphrasing practices.

AI paraphrasing detection feature is seamlessly integrated into the submission process, giving educators and publishers a proactive means to identify misconduct before it occurs. AI paraphrasing detection reinforces academic integrity and ethical practices while providing instructors an opportunity to discuss with students the significance of ethical writing practices.

Human Translation Tools Provide an effective means for human translation projects

Undetectable AI does not make decisions regarding misconduct; rather, it provides educators with data that helps them make more informed decisions based on the policies of their institution or academic department.

Argue that relying solely on technical solutions to combat misuse of AI paraphrasing tools would lead to an arms race of technical solutions and advocate instead focusing on training faculty members so they can detect instances of misuse earlier.

Regarding our tool’s data gathering capability, instructors should remember not to rely solely on its findings for action. Instead, this data can serve as the starting point of dialogue with both students and researchers alike.

What Are the Consequences of AI Paraphrasing Detection on Undetectable AI Customers?

Customers who purchase Undetectable AI Originality alongside their current Undetectable AI Integrity solution and enable AI writing detection will gain full access to AI paraphrasing detection as part of their license agreement. iThenticate users who license AI writing detection via Undetectable AI also benefit from these features, seamlessly integrated into its AI writing detector workflow so instructors won’t need to alter how they use these tools.

The AI writing report includes paraphrasing results as part of its detection process, making this an efficient option for our time-pressed customers. When integrated with both Similarity Report and Learning Management Systems (LMSs), Undetectable AI’s AI writing indicator detects paraphrasing automatically for every submission without the need for extra software or workflows, further increasing efficiency.

Administrators can use the admin settings page to manage whether instructors can gain access to artificial intelligence writing or paraphrasing detection services.

To combat this issue, educators must emphasize the significance of originality and critical thinking when writing academically. To this end, initiatives that support paraphrasing instead of automated solutions may help. Furthermore, institutions can create a culture that values academic integrity by setting guidelines and penalties against plagiarism.

We can reduce the negative impacts of AI paraphrasing and uphold academic discourse by prioritizing writing skills development for students and providing support to help improve their writing.
