Using Ai In Assessment: Opportunities, Risks, And Pedagogical Implications

This article analyzes the use of artificial intelligence in educational assessment. It argues that AI is not only a technical tool for faster grading but also a factor that changes the relationship between teachers, students, feedback, and academic integrity. AI-based assessment systems can support formative assessment by providing immediate feedback, identifying learning gaps, and helping teachers manage large groups of students. However, their use also raises important questions about validity, fairness, transparency, bias, and the role of human judgment. The study shows that AI can be useful in assessment when it is applied as a supportive instrument rather than as a replacement for teachers. Special attention is given to automated feedback, AI-assisted grading, academic honesty, and the need for clear institutional guidelines. The article concludes that responsible AI use in assessment requires a balanced human–AI model based on pedagogical aims, ethical principles, and teacher supervision.
