Let’s take a look at the Artificial Intelligence Assessment Scale (AIAS): A Framework for Ethical Integration of Generative AI in Educational Assessment. (2024). Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 21(06). Perkins, Furze, Roe & MacVaugh (2024).
The AIAS offers the 5 following examples of AI usage in the classroom:
1. No AI – You must not use AI at any point during the assessment. You must demonstrate your core skills and knowledge.
2. Ideas and Structure – AI can be used in the assessment for brainstorming, creating structures, and generating ideas for improving work. No AI content is allowed in the final submission.
3. AI Editing – AI may be used to make improvements to the clarity or quality of student created work to improve the final output, but no new content can be created using AI. AI can be used, but your original work with no AI content must be provided in an appendix.
4. AI + Human Evolution – AI is used to complete certain elements of the task, with students providing discussion or commentary on the AI-generated content. This level requires critical engagement with AI generated content and evaluating its output. You may use AI to complete specific tasks in your assessment. Any AI created content must be cited.
5. Full AI – AI should be used as a ‘co-pilot’ in order to meet the requirements of the assessment, allowing for a collaborative approach with AI and enhancing creativity. You may use AI throughout your assessment to support your own work and do not have to specify which content is AI generated.
Here is a link to The AI Assessment Scale eBook which offers specific examples of exercises that are applicable for each level of the scale for various subjects. It offer clear descriptions of AI usage for setting clear expectations.
