| Abstract: | This essay examines the potential impact of paid-for or premium language models, where some students may be able to afford advanced models generating superior outputs while others could face inequities due to financial constraints. It explores how this dynamic can exacerbate the digital divide, challenge traditional as well as more recent assessment methods, and discusses strategies that hold promise in navigating these complexities in the era of Generative AI within the context of higher education. The essay concludes by proposing six guiding principles for designing more AI- resilient assessments. These include: designing novel and timely questions, mirroring real-world tasks and challenges in assessments, assessing students' collaboration and communication skills as well as their adaptability and resilience, assigning tasks that test their creativity and originality, and requiring teachers to regularly update and diversify assessments. |
