Generative AI Changes Constructed Response Scoring Validity
Researchers led by Jodi Casabianca submitted a paper on March 1, 2026, examining the use of generative AI for scoring constructed responses in high-stakes testing. They compare human ratings, feature-based NLP scoring, and generative models, finding generative AI requires more extensive validity evidence due to opacity and consistency concerns. The study analyzes a large corpus of 6–12th grade argumentative essays and proposes best practices for evidence collection.
