AI To Be Used To Grade STARR Tests

The Texas Education Agency is rolling out an “automated scoring engine” for open-ended questions on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness for reading, writing, science, and social studies. 

Students written answers on the state’s standardized tests will be graded automatically by A.I. 

It’s estimated the state will save more than 15 million dollars by using technology similar to Chat GPT to give the first scores, cutting down on the number of human graders needed.
