New Jersey to Use AI to Score Standardized Writing Tests - Liz Rosenberg, GovTech

Starting this spring, a new state test called the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments-Adaptive for grades 3-10 will be “adaptive,” meaning students will get different questions based on their previous answers. The “artificial intelligence” will be trained using scores generated by human scorers on practice tests that were given to students in October and November. New Jersey is debuting a new type of state tests — called the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments-Adaptive — this spring. It will be given to students in grades 3 through 10 to test their knowledge of English, math and science.
