Per The Guardian, New South Wales deputy premier Prue Car has called on the state's education standards authority to ban unsupervised take-home assessments as part of a review into artificial intelligence's impact on student learning. The move comes amid growing evidence that AI is affecting students' cognitive development. Car emphasized that while the technology has potential to support teaching, it shouldn't replace the critical thinking and hard work that education is designed to develop. Half of the marks for the state's final secondary exams are based on school assessments, some of which students complete at home.
