📋About Turnitin

Updated August 26, 2026

Turnitin is the dominant academic-integrity platform, long used by schools and universities for originality and similarity checking and now for AI-writing detection. Its AI-detection feature has become a flashpoint: a major university publicly disabled it in 2026 over reliability and bias concerns, and independent testing shows non-trivial false-positive rates — making it a case study in the limits of detection.
