## Resource

In this week’s episode of Deep Learning Dialogues, hosts Whitney McKinley and Katrina Gouett are joined by Dr. Jennifer Hove, Director of Data and Reporting at EQAO, to navigate the complex intersection of artificial intelligence and large-scale assessment. Dr. Hove outlines the agency’s "slow and steady" roadmap to AI adoption, emphasizing a human-centered framework where Ontario educators remain the primary drivers of assessment creation and scoring. The conversation explores how EQAO is looking to leverage technology for quality assurance rather than replacement , the challenges of maintaining academic integrity in a digital landscape , and the rigorous review processes ensuring fairness, validity, and bias mitigation. Tune in for an insightful look at how EQAO is building public trust and preparing for the future of education while keeping student equity at the forefront.
