Maintaining the Fairness and Relevance of High-Stakes Exams in the Age of AI
Description
In many countries, upper secondary graduation requires students to pass high-stakes exams. But as AI systems become more powerful, so does their potential to disrupt high stakes testing either through misuse of the technology or through transforming what’s relevant to test. Policy makers in many countries are wrestling with these issues and have arrived at a variety of solutions from banning the use of AI on exams to allowing AI’s use in controlled ways to revising the content of the tests to minimise or highlight the role AI can play in supporting human skills. This session will bring together policy makers from several countries to discuss the debates and choices in their countries about how the growing capabilities of AI may affect their high-stakes tests.
