In our 7th spotlight webinar, we explored Automated Item Generation (AIG) and language assessment in the age of AI. Our speakers, Dr. Alina von Davier, Dr. Olena Rossi, and Dr. Vahid Aryadoust, shared insights and expertise on how intelligent automation is transforming test development processes.

 

This webinar featured three presentations followed by a moderated discussion and Q&A. The webinar considered how testing professionals can leverage the efficiency and consistency of AI while maintaining human oversight where it matters most - in ensuring cultural appropriateness, authenticity, and validity.

 

The webinar touched on the following advantages and disadvantages:

 

• Scalability for high-volume testing needs

• Greater consistency in item format and difficulty levels

• Quick adaptation to new content areas or requirements

• Risk of overlooking cultural sensitivities

• Challenge of maintaining authenticity in language use

• Need for careful validation of AI-generated content​​​​​​​​​​
