COP
Session synopsis: 
Artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated changes in the landscape of dental student assessments, having already influenced higher education globally. However, not all dental educators are comfortable with the use of AI and its impact on student assessments.

This Special Interest Group (SIG) progresses the data collected from the ADEE 2024 SIG, “AI: Friend or Foe in the Assessment of Dental Students”. We will further investigate aspects of AI previously identified and relating to threats, concerns, opportunities and improvements in the assessment of dental students. The challenge is to use AI to facilitate robust and effective assessments that can also facilitate student learning.
