Live:⚡AI Superpowers: Assessment & World Models Plus Beyond Assessment AI Update
Understanding How AI is Learning to Think About the Physical World—and What It Means for Assessment
Join Tim Burnett for an essential update on the latest developments in artificial intelligence and their profound implications for the assessment sector.
This webinar introduces the emerging concept of world models—AI systems that can understand and simulate physical reality—and explores their potential applications in assessment. Whilst current large language models excel at processing text, world models represent a significant leap forward: AI that comprehends how objects interact, how forces work, and how the physical world behaves.
What You'll Learn:
- An accessible introduction to world models and how they differ from traditional generative AI
- Why understanding physical reality matters for future assessment applications
- Recent breakthrough innovations in generative AI and their implications for assessment design
- Practical insights into how these technologies may transform assessment integrity and innovation
- An update on the rapidly evolving AI landscape that assessment professionals need to monitor
Tim will guide you through real-world examples, including demonstrations of cutting-edge tools, to illustrate how these technologies work and what they mean for assessment practice. Whether you're concerned about maintaining assessment integrity, exploring new possibilities for performance-based assessment, or simply want to stay informed about AI developments, this session will provide valuable context and practical understanding.
Who Should Attend:
Assessment professionals, awarding organisations, examination boards, educational technologists, and anyone involved in designing, delivering, or safeguarding assessments in an AI-enabled world.
