This talk will provide an overview of the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in educational measurement, focusing on automated item generation, automated scoring, and test assembly in multilingual assessments. We will discuss the potential benefits of AI and NLP for educational measurement, including increased efficiency, improved accuracy and reliability of assessment, and increased access to assessment technology for low-resource languages. We will examine the current state of the technology, including challenges associated with developing and deploying AI and NLP-based educational assessment systems. We will also discuss future directions for research and development in this area, including the development of methods for assessing and validating AI- and NLP-based systems and the potential for AI and NLP to improve assessment fairness and reduce assessment bias.
