They note “The emergence of widely accessible generative AI in 2023 raised several new considerations for the regulation of qualifications and assessments, including opportunities for AI to support the design, development and delivery of high-quality assessment, alongside new risks around its use in non-exam assessments. In 2024 we set out Ofqual’s approach to regulating AI and how our objectives connected with the overarching principles set out in the government’s  White Paper.

While our regulatory approach remains the same, today’s publication provides an update to this 2024 paper and sets out how we will:

• enable safe AI‑driven innovation and growth in the sector

• ensure our regulatory framework remains proportionate, transparent and effective
• continue to manage risks to qualifications and assessments

The publication is structured around two areas: how awarding organisations may use AI, and how students’ use of AI affects assessment.

We are keen to continue engaging with stakeholders on this topic after publication – particularly as the evidence base develops and as awarding organisations continue to test and explore possible uses of AI. “
