    A Big Picture Look at AI Detection Tools, with Christopher Ostro

    Christopher Ostro shares a big picture look at AI detection tools on episode 555 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I think there are tons of students I interact with who are really just curious and trying to use these tools to dig deeper. -Christopher Ostro I want them getting practice on these things that are going to be part of their future careers and lives. I love that my classroom is a stage for that. -Christopher Ostro I think AI detection has a place, but its place is limited. I don't think it should ever be the sole reason a student is getting honor coded. -Christopher Ostro I love to tell my students if all you're doing with these tools is taking the output and submitting as your own work, you don't have a job. -Christopher Ostro Resources Video: AI Detection: A Literature Review with Christopher Ostro Slides: AI Detection: A Literature Review University of Colorado Boulder Learning Design Group Video: Student Use of AI: A Panel Dialogue GPTZero, TurnItIn AI Detector, Writer.AI Can linguists distinguish between ChatGPT/AI and human writing?: A study of research ethics and academic publishing, by J.
