A person is given a task - building a bridge, say, or writing a report. What do they do? They could just hire a contractor or enlist AI, but will that produce the best result? How do they know? This, to me, is the grist of assessment in the AI era. It's not - as this report (37 page PDF) proposes - 'AI-Resilience', which is "design (that) ensures that core learning outcomes cannot be easily outsourced to AI... by thoughtfully creating conditions and structures that make it hard for students to use AI to complete the core." It is (to coin a phrase) 'AI-Agnosticism', which is evaluation design that sets a genuine tasks and doesn't care how it accomplished, only that it is accomplished as well as possible. What's fun here is that this sort of design is hard for an instructor to evaluate, but much easier for an AI, which can compare and consider multiple ways of accomplishing the task.
