CXC says AI detection tools will not be the sole basis for decisions on students’ work in school-based assessments (SBAs). Instead, the council will prioritise fairness and human judgement, according to Director of Operations Dr Nicole Manning.

"AI checkers are one input. They are not the verdict. There will be human interventions right through the process to ensure fairness," Manning said.

SBAs are continuous, school-administered assessments in which teachers evaluate students throughout the learning process rather than relying solely on final examinations.
