About the webinar
This thought leadership panel will explore how AI can both enhance and compromise the creation of rich mathematical assessments, particularly when it comes to designing complex, unfamiliar tasks.
We’ll unpack what makes a high-quality task, the dangers of over-reliance on AI, and how schools can empower teachers to use AI critically, not passively.
