Developing validity arguments for artificial intelligence-based assessment: Balancing affordances and threats

Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to generate, score and interpret educational assessment, yet these applications are being adopted in a largely unregulated environment. This creates a paradox: Whereas AI systems used in clinical care are subject to formal scrutiny for safety, performance and monitoring, AI systems used to inform consequential decisions about learner progression and future clinical practice are not. Existing validity frameworks remain useful but may not fully account f…

The AI generation gap: Are Gen Z students more interested in adopting generative AI such as ChatGPT in teaching and learning than their Gen X and millennial generation teachers?

Abstract This study aimed to explore the experiences, perceptions, knowledge, concerns, and intentions of Generation Z (Gen Z) students with Generation X (Gen X) and Generation Y (Gen Y) teachers regarding the use of generative AI (GenAI) in higher education. A sample of students and teachers were recruited to investigate the above using a survey consisting of both open and closed questions. The findings showed that Gen Z participants were generally optimistic about the potential benefits of GenAI, including enh…

Organ-at-risk contouring education in the era of AI-assisted practice: Insights from an Australian undergraduate radiation therapy program

Introduction The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into radiation therapy workflows offers significant opportunities to improve efficiency by automating tasks such as contouring organs at risk (OARs). However, this also raises concerns regarding future practitioners' ability to critically evaluate auto-generated contours. This educational perspective examines how OAR contouring education can be integrated into undergraduate radiation therapy programs to support the development of foundational con…

Simulating Reality and Transforming Endoscopic Education-Lessons from Esophageal Dilation

Although endoscopic training has traditionally relied on mentorship and procedural volume to assess proficiency, the major gastroenterology societies have increasingly adopted competency-based assessment tools, including the Assessment of Competency in Endoscopy (ACE) and Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS), to provide a more objective evaluation of technical and cognitive skills. Despite these advances, mentor-based assessment remains susceptible to subjectivity. Emerging technologies such as simulat…

We must reject any notion of AI consciousness | Letters

Anil Seth is right to point out that to overestimate artificial intelligence is to underestimate ourselves (Once again we are told AI may be conscious – I study consciousness, and I have my doubts, 15 July). But he is wrong only to have doubts about whether AI systems like Claude may become conscious. He should be certain, and should say so more forcefully. It’s not like anything to be Claude, just as it’s not like anything to be a washing machine. An academic education is not required to realise that, common se…
