FOI23/24 032 Investigations into Artificial Intelligence use in examined material

I am writing under the Freedom of Information Act.

We are unable to provide any information on your request as the information is not held.

Our candidate malpractice process currently does not have a separate category for artificial intelligence and any possible instances of this would be investigated as plagiarism. Accordingly, we are unable to provide the information requested.

We are continuing to monitor further advances in artificial intelligence technology and are consulting and engaging across the education community on the potential role of AI in qualifications, learning and assessment. This activity will help guide our approach in the future.
