- 1Australian universities face concerns over AI-marked student work▼As more Australian universities use AI to mark students’ work, is it creating a ‘slop-cycle’?
Australian universities are increasingly using artificial intelligence to mark students' assignments, raising concerns about a so-called 'slop-cycle' in which AI grades work that may itself have been written partly by AI. Critics worry the practice could entrench machine-generated mediocrity and weaken academic standards, prompting debate among educators and students over transparency, fairness and the value of human judgement in assessment.
