Examine the defining characteristics of AI in light of the constructive alignment and interaction that exists between theories of learning and the different functions of assessment.

On analyzing the respective literature in the fields of assessment and AI,  provide the key underpinnings of AI for digital assessment purposes and argue that assessment activities that are informed by AI, have the potential to address key limitations normally associated with traditional assessment approaches, and thus support more effective assessment practices.

Discuss the implications of using AI for assessment, and identify a number of key challenges that need to be addressed in order to realize the potential of this technology.

Suggest future avenues for research, as we envisage that the application of AI in education will result in an enhanced assessment experience for both students and educators.
