AI era demands new approach to student assessment – Pres Ali

President Dr Irfaan Ali on Monday said that the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education demands a new approach to student assessment, as teachers face increasing challenges in determining whether students’ work reflects their own understanding and effort or is substantially produced by AI.

The Head of State made this revelation in a post on his social media page at the height of Teachers’ Day celebrations, seeking to bring greater attention to the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in education.

According to the Guyanese leader, the world of AI is bringing about a significant shift in education and changing how students understand and engage with basic lessons.
