Detect candidates that cheat with AI/ChatGPT

Learn how to enable AI/ChatGPT detection and review suspicious candidate activity during assessments

Coderbyte offers AI/ChatGPT detection to help identify potential AI-generated submissions during assessments. When enabled, Coderbyte analyzes candidate solutions for similarities to AI-generated responses and flags suspicious activity for review in the candidate report.

Enabling AI detection

To enable AI/ChatGPT detection, open your assessment and navigate to Settings. From here, you can enable detection for:

  • Challenges: Detect potential AI-generated solutions to coding challenges
  • Free-form questions: Identify responses that mayhave been generated using AI tools

Note: AI/ChatGPT detection for free-form questions is available with the Premium Analytics & proctoring add-on and is included by default in Bundle annual and Enterprise plans.

Reviewing AI detection results

Similar to plagiarism detection, Coderbyte will automatically track suspicious behavior and scan your candidates' solutions for a match with AI/ChatGPT solutions for each challenge or free-form question.

When suspicious activity is detected, it will be flagged in the candidate report. The AI Usage section at the top of the report provides an overview of potential AI usage during the assessment.

For coding challenges, suspected AI-generated solutions appear as Plagiarism detected.

Click Expand to review additional details and determine whether the candidate's solution matches another candidate's submission or an AI-generated solution.

For free-form questions, suspected AI-generated responses appear as AI Usage Detected.

These flags can help you identify submissions that may require further review.

Allowing candidates to use AI

If you'd prefer candidates to use AI tools during an assessment, you can assign a take-home project from the library or create your own in the Custom Library.

Take-home projects support AI assistance directly within the coding environment, allowing candidates to use tools such as ChatGPT while completing their work.

To use AI-powered project grading, ensure the appropriate AI features are enabled in your account settings.
