How AI is affecting this role
- ›Using Claude 3.5 to convert a Physics chapter PDF into 20 'Integer Type' questions with LaTeX formatting, reducing 4 hours of writing to 10 minutes of editing.
- ›Deploying a Python script with the OpenAI API to automatically translate a 100-question mock test into Hindi while keeping technical terms in English (Hinglish style), which is standard for many Indian exams.
- ›Using Excel Copilot to analyze student performance data and identify that specific AI-generated questions were 'too easy' (p-value > 0.9), triggering a prompt for harder variants.
Ways to survive
- ›Specialize in high-stakes validation where errors are unacceptable (e.g., Medical or Engineering entrance exams), becoming the gatekeeper of AI content.
Ways to get ahead with AI
- ›Learn to build Automated Item Generation (AIG) prompts that output structured JSON, allowing you to integrate directly with your company's assessment engine without manual copy-pasting.
