AI in education: Students prefer human graders, new papers reveal

Two new research papers explore the use of AI in educational writing assessment, with a focus on student perspectives and human oversight. The first study, conducted in Saudi Arabia, found that students found AI feedback useful for revisions but maintained that human instructors should hold ultimate grading authority. The second paper proposes a human-in-the-loop framework for large-scale AI-assisted scoring, suggesting that AI can be safely integrated into assessment systems with proper human supervision, showing moderate to high agreement between AI and human evaluations. AI

IMPACT These studies highlight the need for careful integration of AI in education, balancing efficiency with human oversight and student trust.
