I definitely believe the use of AI in tests must not be allowed. Students will ask AI the exact same question as the ones on the test and cheat, studying would be unnecessary and the teachers won’t know how much the students have learnt. Therefore, AI and tests don’t mix well.
To begin with, the students will just ask AI the answer of the question. If the student doesn’t know what the question’s answer is, AI will answer it for them. Imagine a school that every student gets 100% on their test: 100% isn’t rare anymore, it’s more common than 98%! So, students just need to ask AI the question.
Additionally, if AI is used in tests, the students don’t need to learn. While the teacher is droning on and on about some random principle, the students could be playing Grow a Garden instead of listening! If someone asks if they study, they’ll go like “study? What’s study?” Thus, they wouldn’t have learnt anything.
To end with, the teachers won’t know how much the students have learnt. The whole point of tests is to check how much someone has learnt. If AI is used in tests, the teacher isn’t checking how much the students have learnt: they’re checking how much AI has learnt! On that account, teachers wouldn’t know how much the students have learnt.
In conclusion, AI must not be used in tests. The students ask AI the exact same question, they don’t have to study and the teachers won’t know how much they’ve learnt. Later in life, when they encounter these questions, they wouldn’t know unless the had AI by their side. AI is a powerful tool, but must not be used in tests.

Is AI really useful? Sure, it can make poems, essays and find you the nearest Mac Donald’s, but apart from that, what else? Now, people use AI for everything. But for tests? I’m afraid that’s one step too far. Tests are to assess you on what you know, not what an app knows. I strongly believe that schools should not let students use AI because you can’t learn more, it promotes an unhealthy trust in AI and AI might not always be right.
Firstly, tests are made for a reason. Tests are there to see what you know, so you can improve in some areas. But using AI throws this scale off-balance. AI is made using algorithm, machine learning (which is more complicated than it sounds) and binary code. So obviously it is a lot more smart than you. This makes the testers believe you are fully capable of the subject, so they may give you harder questions where they do not allow AI. Better be yourself and get all the answers wrong than get a machine to get all of them correct.
Secondly, if students rely too much on AI to get all the answers right, they might start believing that AI is the only way to get a good score, so they’ll start relying on AI more and more until they can’t think for themselves later. Do you really want students to be like that? Depending on a machine to pass their SAT? I hope not.
Lastly, AI is not always right. There’s nothing perfect, and AI is far from it. It might even get questions you know wrong, which just deducts points that you should’ve gotten. This might lead to guilt and self-hate that you used AI, which is just as unhealthy. If you put too much trust in Ai, chances are that it would fail you sometime.
Are you really going to let students completely rely on machines, become mindless and lazy? Are you really going to install artificial technology in tests?
