Assessment Strategy in the Era of GenAI: Changing the Wheels While the Train is Moving

I.C.E. Exchange Program Description : Technology advances, especially Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), are transforming the workplace and market demands, and will have transformative effects on high-stakes credentialing testing over the next several years. The challenge for assessment organizations and professionals is to forecast needs and plan and reshape their strategies to navigate and adapt to changing requirements while continuing to provide today’s assessment services.

This session brings together a panel of senior leaders in the assessment community who will discuss key trends, emerging practices, and considerations for credentialing programs in assessing AI-driven solutions and options. The panel will also discuss how to evaluate benefits and challenges, and considerations related to protecting the integrity of assessment programs while staying relevant and evolving the operation and management of processes and operations.

The panel will address topics and questions such as:
• Changing workplace: What are the trends?
• Emerging assessment practices: What changes can we expect? Will these lead to disruption or just a re-shift of the importance of new and old?
• Key considerations for assessment strategy in the era of change and transformation: What are new considerations for solutions, psychometrics, operations, and program integrity?
• Change management: How can innovative solutions be developed, integrated and managed, while continuing to meet current program requirements?
• Future of credentialing assessment: How should organizations prepare?

The panel will draw from their extensive experience and expertise in large scale credentialing assessment programs in a variety of contexts to serve as a backdrop for discussion to illustrate the application of strategic concepts and considerations for testing organizations and professionals in preparing for the future of credentialing.
