TLDR

This is a public reference wiki on AI and assessment, with topic pages synthesising what the sources suggest and where the evidence is still contested. Start with a topic overview, then follow the linked comparison and source-note pages for detail. The wiki is designed to help assessment leaders, regulators, practitioners, and suppliers compare risks, trade-offs, and good practice.

What this wiki is for

It helps assessment leaders, regulators, suppliers, and researchers understand how AI changes the security, validity, and governance of assessment. Each page aims to explain the underlying issue, the evidence behind it, and the questions a reader should ask next.

Evidence Gaps

- More primary regulator publications would strengthen pages on policy and qualification design. - More independent validation studies would strengthen pages on AI marking, feedback quality, item generation, and automated essay scoring. - More implementation case studies would help distinguish classroom, professional certification, and high-stakes testing use cases. - More evidence is needed on the environmental, labour, and dependency costs of AI procurement in assessment settings. - More evidence is needed on process-focused assessment models and oral verification designs beyond early practitioner descriptions. - More independent evidence is needed on cognitive offloading, metacognitive laziness, and long-term learning outcomes. - More evidence is needed on whether assessment systems can reliably verify learner judgement, not just polished outputs. - More independent published evidence would strengthen the TCN source themes on item-generation workflows, expert-in-the-loop governance, and explainable marking. - More independent evidence is needed on AI detector robustness, especially against adversarial techniques and across language groups.
