Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising writing assessments, which may involve essays and reports and offer self-paced and custom-made learning experiences. The integration of AI into writing assessments provides both advantages and challenges. Some benefits are that it enhances efficiency and speed, objectivity and consistency, offers comprehensive feedback and personalised learning support, and increases scalability. On the other hand, some challenges with AI integration with written assessments are its scarcity of evaluation nuances, tendencies toward overreliance, limited scope for subjective interpretation, concerns about ethical and academic integrity, and accessibility issues. With particular attention to overreliance, the matter occurs when users start accepting incorrect AI outputs. Overreliance on AI may lead to problems and errors that eventually make users lose trust in AI systems. Some types of overreliance on AI are identified, and a brief explanation of how they can be mitigated is provided. It is becoming imperative to embrace the impacts of artificial intelligence while addressing the challenges thoughtfully so that the power of AI is steered to enhance learning experiences and create a more inclusive and dynamic educational ecosystem.
