The deputy premier of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has urgently requested the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to impose a moratorium on unsupervised take-home assessments. This intervention comes amid a broad review of AI's impact on learning, driven by growing evidence that the technology is affecting students' cognitive development. As half of the students' HSC results rely on school-based assessments, the move aims to protect the education process from AI disruption.
