The Ends Of Tests: Possibilities For Transformative Assessment And Learning With Generative AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way we learn, teach and make sense of the world around us – but it is doing so unequally. While one-third of humanity remains offline, access to the most cutting-edge AI models is reserved for those with subscriptions, infrastructure and linguistic advantage. These disparities not only restrict who can use AI, but also determine which knowledge, values and languages dominate the systems that increasingly influence education. This anthology explores the philosophical, ethical and pedagogical dilemmas posed by disruptive influence of AI in education. Bringing together insights from global thinkers, leaders and changemakers, the collection challenges assumptions, surfaces frictions, provokes contestation, and sparks audacious new visions for equitable human-machine co-creation. Covering themes from dismantling outdated assessment systems to cultivating an ethics of care, the 21 think pieces in this volume take a step towards building a global commons for dialogue - a shared space to think together, debate across differences, and reimagine inclusive education in the age of AI.
