How Does Authenticity Score Work?

Written by Support Team

The Authenticity Score helps you understand how your submission aligns with your instructor’s originality expectations for the assignment.

The Authenticity Score starts at 100% and may decrease depending on the amount of:

  • AI-generated or AI-revised content

  • Pasted content from outside sources

Your instructor may set custom thresholds for both AI Content and Pasted Content based on the assignment requirements.

If your submission exceeds those thresholds, your score may decrease.

Important Things to Know

  • The score is an indicator, not a final conclusion. AI-related percentages are probability estimates and should not automatically be treated as proof of misconduct.

  • The VisibleAI AI Chat history only reflects interactions within the built-in AI assistant. Content created or revised using external AI tools may still affect the score if pasted into the editor.

  • If pasted content tracking is enabled, copying text from outside sources into the editor may also impact the Authenticity Score.
