南安普顿大学逐步停用Turnitin：学生作业可能被用于AI训练成停约主因
南安普顿10月6日——据英国Jisc国家AI中心9月简报并经《每日回声报》报道，英国南安普顿大学正逐步停用论文查重与AI检测服务Turnitin，原因是该服务拟议中的许可条款变更，可能允许把学生提交的作业用于AI模型训练。该校表示，2026—27学年之后将不再续约，并正在评估替代方案。
Jisc简报指出，「学生作业归谁所有、能否被用于训练AI」正从伦理问题变成高校采购问题：查重系统本是防范学术不端的工具，如今反而成为学校担忧的对象。同期简报还收录了高等教育政策研究所（HEPI）学者切尔·奥尔德姆的观点，认为对上升的AI不当行为转介采取更严厉的惩戒并非正确回应，且检测工具对神经多样性、残障及英语非母语学生的误判比例更高。
美国高校也在同步收紧或重写AI规则：佛罗里达州拟要求公立大学制定正式AI政策，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校已要求每份教学大纲附AI声明。评论认为，行业焦点正从「抓作弊」转向「看过程」——以草稿、阶段检查与口头答辩等可见过程作为评估依据。
在美国，类似讨论同样存在：多所常春藤盟校已公开要求学生在提交作业时披露AI使用情况。学生与家长在选校与选课时，可在学校官网的学术诚信栏目查到各校的现行AI规则文本——同一项技术，在不同学校、甚至不同课堂上的许可边界可能完全不同。

University of Southampton to Phase Out Turnitin Over AI-Training Licence Concerns
SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 6 — The University of Southampton is phasing out Turnitin because proposed licence changes could let student submissions be used for AI training, according to Jisc's National Centre for AI September round-up, citing the Daily Echo. The university will not renew beyond 2026-27 while it explores alternatives.
Jisc's round-up notes that who owns student work, and whether it can train AI, is becoming a procurement question as well as an ethics one: the plagiarism checker that students feed their essays into is now the thing universities are worried about. The same round-up highlights a HEPI piece by Dr Chelle Oldham arguing that tougher policing is the wrong response to rising AI misconduct referrals, and that detection tools disproportionately flag neurodivergent, disabled and EAL students.
U.S. institutions are rewriting their rules in parallel: Florida plans to require formal AI policies at public universities, and the University of Texas at Austin now requires an AI statement in every syllabus. Commentators say the emphasis is shifting from policing finished work to assessing visible process, using drafts, checkpoints and oral components.
In the United States, the same debate is under way: several Ivy League institutions now publicly require students to disclose AI use in submitted work. Students and parents can find each school's current AI rules in the academic integrity section of its website — the permitted boundary for the same tool can differ completely between schools, and even between classrooms.
