Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are overtaking the progress in teaching and assessment. Traditional assignments, such as written reports and posters, have become obsolete as these can be created almost entirely using AI tools. As educators, it is imperative that we devise out-of-the-box assignments to give students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding, ability to synthesize and think critically, while promoting the ethical and innovative use of AI. In place of a traditional literature review essay, our junior medical students were given a structured assignment that required the use of ChatGPT to write a report, a critical analysis of the output, and the creation of a final report using their own research combined with the AI output. Students were provided with clear guidelines in writing and in the form of an in-person presentation, in addition to guidance during the process of the assignment. Using ChatGPT as part of constructing an essay and critically analyzing its output was a beneficial experience for the students, allowing them to recognize the utility and limitations of the widely available version of the AI platform. It also provided them with a sense of openness to new technologies that will support their academic journey. This structure could be generalized for use in a wider scope, to promote the effective and ethical use of AI. Implementation of such strategies to develop various types of assessments involving student coursework is at the center of revamping our medical school's assessments. This successful endeavor represents the spark of innovation at our school which is constantly evolving to address the ever-changing needs of our medical programs.
人工智能（AI）的进步正在超越教学和评估方面的进展。传统作业，如书面报告和海报，已经过时，因为这些几乎可以完全使用人工智能工具来创建。作为教育工作者，我们必须设计出别出心裁的作业，让学生有机会展示他们的理解能力、综合能力和批判性思维能力，同时促进对人工智能的道德和创新使用。代替传统的文献综述文章，我们给低年级医学生布置了一项结构化作业，要求他们使用ChatGPT撰写一份报告，对输出结果进行批判性分析，并结合自己的研究和人工智能输出结果创建一份最终报告。除了在作业过程中给予指导外，还为学生提供了书面和现场演示形式的明确指导方针。将ChatGPT用作撰写文章的一部分并对其输出结果进行批判性分析，对学生来说是一次有益的经历，使他们能够认识到这个广泛可用的人工智能平台版本的实用性和局限性。这也让他们对新技术有一种开放的态度，这将支持他们的学术之旅。这种结构可以推广到更广泛的范围，以促进对人工智能的有效和道德使用。实施此类策略以开展涉及学生课程作业的各种评估，是我们医学院评估改革的核心。这一成功的努力代表了我们学校创新的火花，我们学校正在不断发展，以满足我们医学课程不断变化的需求。
