Assessment in the age of AI - open access journal article

 An interesting and timely article published Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence. A relatively new journal with articles across the year compiled into an annual volume.

This article in volume 3 (2002) discusses the challenges of assessment in the age of AI and proposes some ways to leverage assessment practices which draw on AI approaches. The article critiques current assessment practices. The ways AI can be useful include automating assessment construction, AI assisted peer assessments, and using AI generated text to conduct 'writing analytics'. The challenges and caveats for introducing and using AI to support assessments are also presented with a focus on how AI may disfranchise educators from assessment processes.

A good reference article to use for supporting discussions on the impact of AI on assessments.
