I really think it's only a matter of time before all student work is marked by AI. At a certain point, it will be hard to justify using human markers when AIs are demonstrably more fair and more reliable. But of course, this still needs to be demonstrated. That's where this work comes in. "This will involve senior human markers marking several thousand student essays multiple times. The responses will then be used to run a competition for 'individuals and organisations with expertise in AI' to attempt to train an AI system to mark 'similarly to the training set'."
