22 ## Newly extracted tracker claim
33 This claim was newly extracted or newly promoted in the tracker release. It is not necessarily newly published by the university.
4+ai_tool_treatment: Queen's assessment guidance says text-based AI detectors are not recommended because current tools cannot definitively identify AI-authored content and can produce false positives.
5+Evidence (en, 6e94d9c097da): Current tools that attempt to detect AI generated text – whether by analysing writing styles, using machine learning classification, or watermarking – cannot definitively identify AI-authored content. Worryingly, these systems often produce an unacceptably high rate of false positives.
In the future, with the integration of AI writing tools into platforms like Microsoft Word and Google Workplace, it is anticipated that much of our writing will include AI-generated elements. This will be similar to how we currently benefit from algorithm-driven spell checkers and grammar tools. Considering these factors, the use of text-based AI detectors is not recommended.

Any information that is submitted to an AI tool then becomes part of the data that the tool draws upon to complete future tasks for anyone who uses the tool. You need to consider whether you have permission to submit the information that you do.
