The 88% Problem: Why AI Detection is Failing Higher Ed

88% of UK students use GenAI. Turnitin flags 1 in 3 as suspicious. But 61% of those flags are false positives. It's time to admit detection isn't working.

Generative AI has fundamentally changed how students write, research, and synthesize information. In response, institutions deployed 'AI detectors'. However, emerging research shows these detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers. Instead of relying on flawed probability models, we must return to assessing authentic understanding through dialogue.
