AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), will significantly impact Language Assessment Specialists by automating aspects of test creation, scoring, and feedback generation. Computer vision may also play a role in analyzing non-verbal communication in assessments. However, the nuanced understanding of cultural contexts and the need for human judgment in complex cases will limit full automation.
