This piece is for educators and creators curious about the impact of AI and machine learning technology on the future of authorship and teaching and learning.

In this article, I share three disruptions to education assessment that are clearer than others. I am sure there is more to come.

When you finish reading this piece, you will know why AI creative tools disrupt the existing assessment and creative authorship structures. You will reflect on what the near future holds for how students create and express themselves through new AI technology.
