Artificial intelligence used to mark exam papers

Whereas artificial intelligence is being used in some countries to mark multiple choice questions, China is experimenting with machine intelligence to mark essays. According to the South China Morning Post, technology has been developed to interpret the general logic and meaning of the text. The platform can then undertake human-like judgment into an essay's overall quality. The platform can then assign a grade to the essay and also provide recommended for improvement, selecting categories such as writing style, sentence structure and overall theme. At present the application of artificial intelligence in Chinese schools is assisting an assessment by a teacher and not removing the teacher from the equation.
