What Does the AI Percentage on a Turnitin Report Mean?

📢 Understanding Turnitin AI False Positives

Turnitin recently updated its AI detection system to reduce false positives. Here’s what you need to know:

  • If less than 20% of your paper is detected as AI-generated, Turnitin will not display an exact percentage—instead, it will show an asterisk (*).
  • AI scores between 1% and 19% had a higher chance of misidentifying human-written text as AI.
  • This change helps prevent unfair penalties for students whose work is primarily human-written.

If you're unsure about your paper’s AI score, I can check it for you using a Turnitin Instructor Account and send you the report in 5 minutes
