ATP Releases White Paper on AI

Artificial Intelligence and the Testing Industry: A Primer

The White Paper, authored by the International Privacy Subcommittee of the ATP Security Committee, provides a high-level overview and definition of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), use cases drawn from the testing industry, international standards and frameworks related to AI that share commonly accepted principles governing the appropriate responsible use of AI, and legal requirements for AI usage when personal information is processed. This Paper also describes specific risks arising from use cases in light of the standards and laws.

The authors of the White Paper, say in the Conclusion of the comprehensive 18-page  primer, "This White Paper provides background information to assist the testing industry in becoming aware of and understanding what Artificial Intelligence is by reference to concepts, definition, and pervasive applications in the realm of testing and assessment. Regulation of AI is being proposed in Europe, Canada and the U.S. that may limit its future use in testing. As we learn more about the specific requirements, we plan to provide guidance in particular areas. Because AI and its many aspects represent an extensive topic for consideration, the ATP intends to produce future bulletins of its Privacy in Practice series that will focus on specific topics such as AI in test development, AI in scoring, AI in proctoring, and AI and test integrity. Finally, given the likelihood of expanded legal requirements on the use of AI, future Privacy Bulletins could also address compliance with various laws/regulations. [Read the full White Paper here.]
