Yes.
Curtin uses Turnitin’s GenAI writing indicator to check assessments for undisclosed use of Gen-AI software. The Turnitin report shows the text within the submitted student document that has been written with Gen-AI tools.
Turnitin’s tool is the only verified and endorsed GenAI detection software accepted at Curtin.
Some examples of tools, where the output will be flagged by Turnitin are:
- Text generators like Chat GPT and Gemini
- Language translation tools like DeepL
- Paraphrasing tools like Quillbot and Grammarly (Free, Premium, and Business versions)
Note: only staff have access to view the GenAI information within the Turnitin Similarity Report. Turnitin controls this access, and it is not something that Curtin can alter.
For documents with 20% or more GenAI detection scores, this is what the Turnitin GenAI report looks like that staff will review. To prevent potential false positives, no score or highlights are shown for GenAI detection scores in the 1% to 19% range.

This means that you must be transparent and honest about your use of Gen-AI software within your assessments to avoid misconduct. Unapproved, inappropriate, or undisclosed use may be dishonest or unfair behaviour, and therefore considered misconduct.
