The evidence problem

A finished piece of AI-assisted work looks the same whether the person behind it understood every step or none of them. That is the evidence problem: the artefact is not the skill, and treating it as a proxy for the skill is how weak portfolios get waved through.

A portfolio can show what was produced. With the right prompts, checks and revisions attached, it can also show something about process. What it cannot show, on its own, is whether the candidate would have caught the failure case that was not in front of them, whether they understood why a check passed, or whether they would stand behind the same decision under different conditions.

That is why AIQQA assessment does not stop at the artefact. Candidates are asked to explain the reasoning, not just submit the result — and an assessor is looking for the parts of that reasoning that could not have come from the tool.
