How University of Louisiana is using GPTZero for AI detection
Learn how Louisiana’s largest university system is adopting academic integrity tools like GPTZero to gain insights into students’ AI use.
The University of Louisiana (UL) system, one of the United States’ largest higher education systems with nine institutions, announced on August 13 that it’s adopting an administrative data warehouse solution that integrates AI content detection from GPTZero into their school system, through our data partner K16 Solutions.
AI large language models like ChatGPT have changed the academic landscape since 2022, with students using AI to submit classwork skyrocketing. It’s hard enough for teachers and administrators to understand the impact of students’ use of AI on assignments across different classrooms. At the departments and school system level, few solutions exist to provide both a high-level and detailed understanding of how many students’ assignments have AI-generated content, and how to address content integrity — until GPTZero.
How GPTZero AI content detection works for administrators
K16 solutions’ implementation of GPTZero for administrators has been “a game-changer in managing ed-tech data.” The product uses GPTZero to handle AI content detection, offering teachers and administrators the most precise, reliable AI checker that integrates with their existing learning management systems, including Canvas and Moodle.
Here are some things you can do when you integrate AI content detection into your school:
- AI checking across the widest surface area of any solution: scan not only essays and assignments but also quizzes, comments, and more.
- View AI usage at the class level, department, school, or entire institutional level.
- Data analysis on past AI trends across the Canvas LMS via our integration through K16 solutions
- Detailed reporting per student submission, and an admin dashboard to see larger trends across classrooms, subjects, and departments.
Why should you use GPTZero for AI detection at universities?
We’re focused on preserving information transparency on the internet. GPTZero was the first AI detector on the market in 2022, and it’s been keeping pace with the rapid innovations in the industry, from detecting multiple different AI models to building tools for educators to give feedback to students.
Things to consider when you evaluating an AI content integrity solution:
- How models evaluate English as a Second Language (ESL) and non-prose writing: GPTZero has been working to reduce bias on AI detection by training its models specifically to account for ESL learners. We partner with the top universities’ AI research labs including Princeton, Caltech, to make sure we’re offering the highest quality AI detection.
- Pedagogical principles: GPTZero’s AI writing tutor was built with educators in mind. We believe in teaching how to fish and providing the opportunity to learn, not simply giving the answers.
- False positive and accuracy: It’s easy for tools to adjust numbers to get high AI accuracy rates, by allowing false positives. GPTZero works to minimize the risk to students’ academic integrity, while also maintaining some of the most accurate AI detection based on independent evaluation.
We want to bring AI detection and transparency to everyone. If you’re an educator or administrator looking to understand how AI is affecting your classrooms, get in touch with us.
