England's universities urged to adopt AI-proof assessments
What happened
On November 11, The Decoder reported that a survey by England's Office for Students (OfS) and Advance HE, covering 127 institutions and more than 300 respondents, found students use AI heavily to write essays, often undetected, with grades similar to students who don't use AI. The OfS warned that universities failing to set up reliable assessment formats may face sanctions, and called for more assessments that don't rely on AI, urging a return to traditional exams and in-person presentations. Many universities have already moved to oral exams, continuous assessment, or tasks requiring students to critically revise AI-generated text.
