Session Hosted by AQA: AI in Assessment – Insights from AQA Research

How is AI really changing assessment in UK schools? This session shares candid insights from AQA’s team of researchers and data scientists, who are at the forefront of exploring how AI can improve fairness and efficiency in assessment. We’ll discuss both the challenges and opportunities of using AI in high-stakes exams and in formative or diagnostic assessments, drawing on cutting-edge research, classroom feedback, and a strong commitment to keeping humans at the heart of decision-making.

You’ll hear about AQA’s latest AI initiatives, including what worked, what didn’t, and what we’ve learned so far. We’ll also explore how our ethical frameworks and human-in-the-loop processes are shaping responsible AI applications, with a focus on quality, reliability, data protection, copyright, and cost.

The session will end with an interactive discussion:

 What has worked with AI in your school so far?

 How could it be improved?

Join us for an honest conversation about the realities of AI in assessment, grounded in research and practice, and help shape the future of responsible, human-centred AI in education.”
