Keynote: Assessment in an age of AI: implications for trusts and the school system

Artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape assessment practice, creating both opportunities and challenges for schools and trusts. While AI has the potential to reduce workload and support more efficient assessment and feedback, it also raises important questions about reliability, professional practice and student learning. Drawing on research from No More Marking’s work with over 1,000 schools in England, Daisy Christodoulou will examine what current evidence shows about the role AI can play in assessment, and the implications for trusts and the wider school system.
