Classification AI vs. Generative AI – Which is better for Assessment?

Using generative AI for assessments has limitations and ethical considerations, and specialised AI grading systems can offer greater precision.

AI technologies like ChatGPT have gained significant traction in education, particularly in automating tasks such as grading. However, while generative AI presents promising tools for content creation and formative assessments, it faces critical challenges in high-stakes grading scenarios due to inconsistencies, bias, and a lack of explainability. These challenges argue for more appropriate alternatives, such as classification AI, that offer greater consistency, fairness, and transparency in grading processes.
