AI has transformed item generation: what once took weeks now takes minutes. The challenge is no longer writing items; it's reviewing them. When AI produces hundreds of items in a single session, how do certification programs strategically allocate human effort to maintain the rigor that high-stakes testing demands? This panel brings together practitioners from leading IT certification programs to share real stories from the trenches: how they designed AI-assisted workflows, navigated human-in-the-loop challenges, gained stakeholder buy-in, and ensured AI-generated items meet psychometric standards. Whether you are just exploring AI-assisted item development or already deep in implementation, this panel offers practical insights you can bring back to your team.
