  • Matt Sornson said the AI evaluates communication skills from recorded presentations, analyzing tone of voice, body language, and eye contact. The technology can also "review recordings, video, written scores&and student reflections," Sornson said.
  • Schools can integrate skill standards from organizations like the Carnegie Foundation or the Educational Testing Service, helping colleges and employers assess student Skills for the Future.
  • For subjects like music or art, Sornson noted that AI avoids judging if a piece is "good," focusing instead on technical aspects. The system evaluates elements like "rhythm, pitch and intonation&. The technology could also" review student reflections.
