In assembling this list, NEIU librarians are attempting to highlight some of the more common tools discussed in higher education. The list is nowhere near complete, nor does inclusion here indicate an endorsement of a tool.
In the time it took to type this statement, probably a dozen more tools have been launched. If you would like to recommend a tool for inclusion in this list, please email eadmin@neiu.edu with the name of the tool and its URL.
Click the name of the product to go to the tool itself. You are highly encouraged to check out the company's general website and read their privacy policies and terms and conditions (T&Cs) before use.

AI detectors are not the same as plagiarism detectors. Plagiarism detectors, like TurnItIn, are trained on paper and web content and can a compare a submission with documents that already exist and are known to have been written by humans. AI can hallucinate. AI-generated content is unique. AI is trained on an enormous amount of data, but its output is new and based on probability patterns. You can not track down the original document AI used to generate its output.
(See also Infinite Monkey Theorem -- AI is not that and is better than that because its training data already contains all the works of Shakespeare and relies on pattern matching, not creativity)
