Beyond the Algorithm : A Fireside Chat with Dr Matthew Glanville

The conversation circled around one idea: machines can give answers, but they cannot care, read a room, or act with values when things get uncertain. Our kids can! And that is what schools should double down on. Mr Matthew pushed this further with three sharp points:

• The future of assessment is digital, interactive, and built for real-time feedback
• Student agency will shape how learning is shown, not just how tasks are designed
• Intent matters more than format - assessment should grow curiosity, integrity and imagination

Mr Arora is of the thought that authenticity will not come from blocking AI. It will come from tasks where thinking is visible, such as iterations, reflections, oral defences, and live reasoning. When students see their work as a mirror, integrity follows by choice, not policing. So the wonderment here is "If AI can do so much, what's the one assessment practice we must retire to keep learning human and meaningful?"
