On 3 December, the British Council East Asia Assessment Solutions Team (EAAST) talked about the potential applications of Artificial Intelligence in assessment and gave an example of one such application using AI in machine rating.
The team talked about their experiences of working with partners to create the IELTS Smart Learning App (ISL). This app uses an AI machine rater to give students instant scores and feedback on their spoken English. The team gave a brief overview of AI machine rating, the impact of AI on assessment, and what is involved in the training of auto-raters.
