The Big Story: Should AI be grading our papers?

Over the past year, the spotlight has been firmly on students and their use of AI, questions around academic integrity, strict guidelines, and even penalties for those who don’t disclose it. But now, the conversation is shifting. Several universities here in Singapore, including Nanyang Technological University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Institute of Technology, and National University of Singapore, are beginning to incorporate AI tools into the grading process itself. So that raises a big question: if students are being closely monitored for their use of AI, is it fair for educators to lean on the same technology when marking their work? Is this a step towards greater efficiency… or does it risk changing the very nature of assessment and feedback?
