We’re happy to announce the release of our AI writing detection capabilities in Arabic to help educators uphold academic integrity by offering insights for Arabic language submissions.

Who has access:

• Existing customers who license Turnitin Originality and have AI writing detection enabled on their account
• iThenticate 2.0 customers who license the AI writing detection add on
• Only instructors and administrators will be able to see the indicator and the report.

How it works:

• Arabic detection runs alongside our existing English, Spanish, and Japanese detectors
• The appropriate model processes each submission based on its language
• Papers submitted in an unsupported language will not be processed for AI writing detection
• Our Arabic model is built to distinguish AI-written from human-written academic content, drawing on twenty-five years of experience safeguarding academic integrity

What this means for instructors and admins:

• Built to identify likely AI-generated text while keeping a low false positive rate. You get a reliable signal you can trust as a starting point for upholding academic integrity.
• Built into your existing similarity report workflow, and integrated with your LMS. You can check student papers for AI writing without changing the way you already work.
• Simple and comprehensible reporting. An overall percentage of the text that may be AI-generated, and highlighted segments so you can review flagged passages in context.
