The Death of Exams? AI’s Impact on Education with Professor Phil Dawson
Are exams becoming obsolete in the age of AI? In this episode of Artificially Intelligent(ish), hosts Franck and James sit down with Professor Phil Dawson, a leading expert in higher education assessment, feedback, and artificial intelligence, to explore how AI is rewriting the rules of learning.
Together, they dig into the rise (and flaws) of AI detectors, the “Swiss cheese” model of assessment security, deepfakes, and the policy challenges schools face. Phil also shares how improv comedy shapes his academic life, why he stirs debate on LinkedIn, and what it’s like raising kids in an AI-saturated world.
If you’ve ever wondered whether AI should grade assignments, how teachers can adapt, or whether exams themselves still have a future—Franck, James, and Phil will challenge the way you think about education.
