Artificial Intelligence (AI)

This guide provides Durham Tech students and staff with some important resources regarding Artificial Intelligence and machine learning tools.

Platforms like Turnitin (which is used by Durham Tech) offer some form of AI detection tool, but instructors should take care to read their warnings about the tool:

[The AI writing indicator in the Similarity Report] shows an overall percentage of the document that AI writing tools, such as ChatGPT, may have generated...While Turnitin has confidence in its model, Turnitin does not make a determination of misconduct...we must emphasize that the percentage on the AI writing indicator should not be used as the sole basis for action or a definitive grading measure by instructors.

Instructors may find these resource guides for thinking about ChatGPT and education useful for planning classroom activities or learning strategies.
