This article challenges the idea of “AI-proofing” assessment, arguing that restriction and detection strategies fail to address the real issue: assessment designs that no longer produce reliable evidence of student capability. Nick Bareham explores how universities can instead design assessments that make thinking, judgment, communication, and applied understanding visible—the very capabilities employers are increasingly demanding in an AI-enabled world.
