Turnitin Launches ‘Clarity’ to Support AI Transparency in Education

Turnitin, a leading provider of academic integrity technology solutions, has announced the general availability of Turnitin Clarity, a purpose-built writing solution designed to foster academic integrity and support responsible AI use in the classroom. As AI reshapes how students learn and write, Turnitin Clarity provides transparency, efficiency, and meaningful feedback—bridging the gap between students and educators in today’s AI-driven learning environment.

One Unified Platform for Writing, Feedback, and Integrity

Built on a newly rearchitected Turnitin Feedback Studio (TFS) foundation, Clarity offers flexible assignment workflows, faster innovation delivery, and intuitive grading tools. With Clarity fully integrated, the platform becomes a one-stop environment: students can write, revise, reflect, and even receive assistance from an AI writing guide. Educators, in turn, gain full visibility into how student work is created, helping them uphold academic standards with deeper insights.

“Turnitin Clarity is our response to a defining challenge in education—how to uphold academic integrity while embracing responsible AI use,” said Annie Chechitelli, Chief Product Officer, Turnitin. “In an AI-powered world, we need more than detection—we need solutions that promote learning, invite dialogue, and build confidence in ethical AI use.”

Chaitali Moitra, Regional Head, South Asia, added: “As AI reshapes India’s educational landscape, educators need tools that ensure transparency and build trust. Turnitin Clarity empowers both students and teachers to confidently engage with AI while preserving the principles of academic integrity.”

Global Sentiment: AI Offers Promise—But Raises Concerns

New global research from Turnitin and Vanson Bourne reveals mixed sentiment about AI in education. While 78% of students, educators, and administrators express optimism about AI’s impact, 95% believe misuse is widespread. A key concern identified was maintaining academic integrity amid uncertainty around AI.
