Abstract

Recent developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have created significant uncertainty in education, particularly in terms of assessment practices. Against this backdrop, we present an updated version of the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS), a framework with two fundamental purposes: to facilitate open dialogue between educators and students about appropriate GenAI use and to support educators in redesigning assessments in an era of expanding AI capabilities. Grounded in social constructivist principles and designed with assessment validity in mind, the AIAS provides a structured yet flexible approach that can be adapted across different educational contexts. Building on implementation feedback from global adoption across both the K-12 and higher education contexts, this revision represents a significant change from the original AIAS. Among these changes is a new visual guide that moves beyond the original traffic light system and utilises a neutral colour palette that avoids implied hierarchies between the levels. The scale maintains five distinct levels of GenAI integration in assessment, from "No AI" to "AI Exploration", but has been refined to better reflect rapidly advancing technological capabilities and emerging pedagogical needs. This paper presents the theoretical foundations of the revised framework, provides detailed implementation guidance through practical vignettes, and discusses its limitations and future directions. As GenAI capabilities continue to expand, particularly in multimodal content generation, the AIAS offers a starting point for reimagining assessment design in an era of disruptive technologies.
