A recent paper argues that educational institutions should implement structural changes to assessment rather than relying on discursive methods. Discursive changes, like AI assessment scales or declarations, focus on communication but leave the core task unchanged, assuming student understanding and compliance. Structural changes, conversely, directly alter the assessment format to make inappropriate AI use difficult or impossible, such as shifting focus from product to process. However, the paper's author suggests this thesis might be overstated, as discursive changes can still provide valuable guidance and foster important conversations about AI use among students. AI
