As one of the world’s leading digital assessment providers, RM is taking a long-term, proactive view of AI to ensure the integrity of assessment processes that utilise it, giving confidence to exam boards, awarding bodies, politicians, learners, and parents everywhere.
On Wednesday 12th February 2025, RM held it’s Spring Conference at the International Baccalaureate offices in Cardiff, 'Bridging AI and Assessment' attended by around 100 of our educator and accreditor partners and almost the same number of attendees taking part online, exploring how AI could be used ethically in assessment – driving better learner outcomes without diminishing the vital role of human expertise.
The whole event was compered by Kieron Williams, Business Growth Director at RM, who said:
“The reason why it was so important to put this event on was for RM to engage with the entire customer base, to really get a community spirit around how AI is going to evolve in the assessment space, both in the short, long and medium terms.”
