Detecting AI-Generated Answers in Assessments

Introduction

Testlify now allows you to detect whether a candidate’s long answer is AI-generated. This feature helps you understand how much of an answer is written by a human, generated by AI, or a mix of both. It works for both short and long answer questions.

Purpose

With the AI checker feature, employers can:

• Identify if answers are copied or generated by AI (e.g., ChatGPT).
• See the percentage of AI-generated, human-written, and mixed content in each answer.
• Make informed decisions when evaluating candidate responses.

How to Enable AI Checker for a Question

1. Open the assessment where you want to add the AI checker.

   
   

2. Go to the long answer question you want to check and click Edit.

   

   
   

3. On the left-hand sidebar, click Show options.

   

   
   

4. Enable AI Checker.

   

Once enabled, the question will be analyzed for AI-generated content when candidates submit their answers.

Viewing AI Checker Results

1. Go to the Candidate Display Page (CDP).

   Below the candidate’s answer, you’ll see a visual breakdown showing:

   • Percentage of AI-generated text
   • Percentage of human-written text
   • Percentage of mixed content

Viewing AI Checker in Reports

1. Navigate to Assessment Settings.

2. Under the Configuration tab, enable Show AI Checker.

   

3. Once enabled, AI detection results will appear in the assessment report alongside candidate responses.

Conclusion

The AI Checker feature provides a clear view of candidate authenticity in written answers. By enabling it, you can:

• Ensure answers are genuinely written by candidates.
• Maintain integrity in long-answer assessments.
• Quickly identify AI-assisted responses for further evaluation.
