Deep dives
Origins and Purpose of the AI Assessment Scale
The AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) was developed in response to the growing use of generative AI tools like ChatGPT in educational settings. Recognizing potential misuse and the need for guidelines, educators sought a balanced approach that neither banned nor unrestricted AI usage in assessments. The goal was to promote thoughtful integration of AI within the educational framework, encouraging open dialogue about its appropriate use while ensuring academic integrity. This scale has since been adopted by over 250 educational institutions worldwide, highlighting its relevance and effectiveness.
