AI has shifted quickly again this year, and assessment teams are navigating a mix of progress, pressure, and practical questions. This workshop gives participants a clear, grounded look at the biggest developments since last year’s e‑ATP, what’s actually changed, what hasn’t, and what these shifts mean for real assessment programmes. The focus is on clarity rather than hype, helping attendees understand the state of AI in assessment today and where it’s realistically heading next.
This session blends a concise year‑in‑review, a forward‑looking discussion on emerging trends, and a practical, interactive group exercise. This hands‑on component gives attendees space to work through real scenarios, compare approaches, and think through the opportunities and risks in a structured but open way. It’s designed to be collaborative, practical, and directly applicable to the challenges assessment organisations are facing right now.
