Preparing University Assessment for a World With AI: Tasks for Human Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how people work and live. There is an urgent need for higher education to recognise this change and respond. Assessments are key to this response. Old models of assessment draw on pattern recognition and recall, which will be of considerably less use to newer forms of employment. This chapter defines artificial and human intelligences, then distinguishes between them, outlining the things that humans can do that machines cannot and vice versa. In particular, we suggest personal epistemology (“meta-knowing”) and evaluative judgement (making judgements about quality of work) are peculiarly human. Consequently, higher education assessments should focus on these capabilities. We offer the example of a critical appraisal assessment as an illustration. By deliberately focussing assessments on areas where humans think better than machines, we can enhance graduates’ abilities to navigate through an AI-enabled world.

  • If evaluative judgement is to remain a uniquely human capability, then the development of evaluative judgement is to remain a responsibility held by humans-both educators and learners.

    “If evaluative judgement is to remain a uniquely human capability (Bearman and Luckin Citation2020), it follows that the development of evaluative judgement is to remain a responsibility held by humans—both educators and learners.”

  • GenAI can enhance the efficiency and reliability of assessments.

    “Research by Bearman and Luckin [1] and Hooda, Rana [2] demonstrates how GenAI can enhance the efficiency and reliability of assessments.”
  • GenAI is rapidly transforming higher education, influencing assessment practices and pedagogical approaches, and offering capabilities for personalised learning and streamlined assessment.

    “Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly become a transformative factor in higher education, influencing assessment practices and pedagogical approaches to learning and teaching, offer unprecedented capabilities for personalised learning journeys and streamline assessment processes [1, 2].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
