Research published in Times Higher Education explores the integration of AI as a cognitive assistant in academic grading [1]. The study suggests that AI helps overcome finite human cognitive bandwidth in complex scientific and financial evaluations [1]. By processing large datasets, the technology improves analytical rigor and consistency across multiple assessments [1]. However, the findings emphasize that AI is not a substitute for human insight [1]. Human judgment remains essential for the final adjudication of academic work [1]. The technology functions best as a support system to enhance the capabilities of expert educators [1].
