SACE Board response to the challenges and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence

Students have always been keen to use new and exciting tools to support their learning. Rapidly expanding access to generative AI will continue to provide students with a powerful tool for learning and the SACE Board will continue to be responsive to the challenges to the integrity of assessment and opportunities AI presents for students learning.

The following phases provide a framework for responding to the challenges and opportunities:

Phase 1: Learn & Grow – Engage with teachers in schools who are leading local responses to AI to develop contextual understanding.

Phase 2: Test & Share – Refine teacher practice through subject renewal changes.

Phase 3: Scale & Evolve – Ongoing adaptation; provide a broader range of support material, exemplars, and policy guidance.

The rise of AI does create challenges to the integrity of assessment. The SACE Board’s work in partnership with schools to uphold the highest standards of integrity through prevention, detection, and investigation of potential breaches remains important, particularly prevention.

The following guidelines  include an expanded list of practical examples for using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in SACE assessment and new AI resilient Learning and Assessment Plan review tool are now available to support schools to be responsive, promote deep learning and prevent integrity challenges.

These guidelines should be read alongside the Supervision and Verification of Students’ Work Policy and Procedure [PDF 180KB] and assessment and academic integrity guidance, which is underpinned by the principle that students must only submit work "that is their own, produced without undue assistance from other people or sources." The breach of rules page provides more advice for schools about the rules for students who undertake SACE assessments and the procedures to follow when a breach of rules occurs.
