A thesis from the Department of Politics and Society at AAU is among the winners of the Djøf Master's Thesis Award 2024.

Anne Balsby, Line Højris Revsbech and Maria Laursen have written the thesis entitled: Consistent grading with artificial intelligence (Konsistent karaktergivning med kunstig intelligens).

In the thesis, they explore how AI can enhance the grading process and challenge traditional perceptions, which can lead to a fairer judgement.

"The thesis challenges the current practice of grading by investigating whether the use of AI can reduce so-called noise in grading. The thesis is well-written, logically structured and supports its points with a high level of academic competence, so the reader is captivated by the brave experiment," says the jury in a press release from Djøf.

Anne Balsby, Line Højris Revsbech and Maria Laursen say the following:

"With this thesis, we wish to contribute to the debate on how the use of generative AI can reduce the randomness in grading. For us, the value lies in making the research easy to understand for professionals as well as the average Dane."
