The reassurance of ‘the human in the loop’ can be found in many places: in vendor marketing, institutional policies, and in wider discourse around AI. It’s become the standard response to concerns about AI making consequential decisions. But what does it mean in practice? If a marker glances at AI-generated feedback and clicks “accept”, was a human meaningfully in the […]

Two recently published reports – the Youth Employment Commission’s interim report on young people and work and Prospects Luminate’s Early Careers Survey 2026 – have alerted me to unconsidered complexities around the interplay between artificial intelligence and human skills. The first of these reports is a stark account of how much harder it has become for […]
In 2025, Jisc launched the AI in Marking and Feedback Pilot, a year-long initiative bringing together colleges and universities to explore whether AI can meaningfully reduce marking and feedback workload in a way that is acceptable to key stakeholders. The project spans two strands — tools designed specifically for educational purposes (these were Graide, Keath […]

In my current role, I support universities and colleges as they explore the use of artificial intelligence in education. Much of this work focuses on how AI tools are applied in practice and on how institutions make sense of their opportunities and limitations. Alongside this applied work, I have been developing a more foundational understanding of how AI systems […]
The AI in Marking and Feedback Pilot launched earlier this year (the announcement blog for which is linked here), is now well underway across a range of institutions. Designed to explore how AI tools can reduce workload around marking and feedback processes, the pilot includes three platforms—Graide, Keath, and TeacherMatic— being piloted by 14 colleges […]
Last year, Jisc launched a pilot to explore how AI could help reduce workload around marking and feedback. That work continues this year, with KEATH, Graide, and TeacherMatic being piloted across more than 30 participating colleges and universities. We’re now launching a new strand of the pilot — one that will see participants using […]
