Event Abstract

This forum explores AI’s influence on language assessment. Dr. Jaime Morrish examines how AI may challenge what we mean by “ability” in high-stakes tests. Dr. Makito Kawata looks at how test conditions, such as room acoustics, affect fairness and scores. Tophe Zuelke, M.A. builds on these perspectives to open discussion of classroom use, asking whether AI truly assesses learning or only appears to do so. The panel invites discussion on fairness, feedback, and trust in AI-supported assessment.
