Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) assessment applications are becoming ubiquitous in testing and assessment in healthcare, education and business. But there is still much to learn about how AI can enhance or hamper the assessment process in these contexts.
This presentation — co-hosted by the Buros Center for Learning and the MAP Academy — aims to provide researchers and practitioners an opportunity to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of using AI-based assessment from four psychologists representing different fields of psychology.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe at least three advantages and disadvantages of AI-based assessments.
- Apply recommendations and cautions for utilizing AI-based assessment in research or professional practice.
- Identify research that is still needed to support the use of AI-based assessment as an evidence-based practice.
Audience
Professional educators, clinicians/counselors, industrial/organizational psychologists, measurement professionals, researchers, and graduate students
