How does AI detection on Canvas work?

With the GPTZero's Canvas integration, every student submission can be scanned for potential AI writing. Results appear directly inside Canvas alongside submissions in SpeedGrader or assignment views. Educators can see document-level scores as well as sentence-level highlights and confidence ratings, all within their normal grading workflow.

Which AI models can GPTZero detect inside Canvas?

GPTZero works across all major AI models, including ChatGPT (GPT-3, GPT-4, GPT-5), Gemini, Claude, LLaMA, and Copilot.

Does Canvas have built-in AI detection?

Canvas does not currently include AI detection, but by integrating GPTZero, institutions can provide this capability, and add a layer of AI detection straight into Canvas assignments, without disrupting the grading process.

How accurate is GPTZero at detecting AI in Canvas assignments?

GPTZero is widely recognized as the most accurate AI detector for education. Benchmarks show over 99% accuracy with one of the lowest false positive rates in the industry. Accuracy is strongest at the document level.

Does GPTZero's Canvas integration detect plagiarism as well?

Yes. In addition to AI detection, GPTZero's dashboard includes plagiarism detection, so that educators can combine AI scans with checks against existing text sources for a more holistic picture of student originality.

How does GPTZero protect ESL students?

Our models are de-biased for ESL learners and updated regularly to fairly assess second-language writing. This reduces the risk of unfairly flagging non-native speakers.

Is GPTZero's Canvas integration free?

Basic scans are available for free, but Canvas integrations are included in GPTZero's institutional and enterprise plans, with simple, scalable pricing.

What are the limitations of GPTZero in Canvas?

No AI detector is perfect, and short or highly edited texts are harder to classify. We recommend using GPTZero as a conversation starter as opposed to a final verdict, and to use it as one tool in a broader approach to AI in the classroom.
