      Using AI-developed questions written by non-legally-trained psychometricians represented “an obvious conflict of interest,” Basick argued, because “these are the same psychometricians tasked with establishing that the questions are valid and reliable.” [] On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the State Bar told The Times that all questions — including the 29 scored and unscored questions from the agency’s independent psychometrician that were developed with the assistance of AI — were reviewed by content validation panels and subject matter experts ahead of the exam for factors including legal accuracy, minimum competence and potential bias.
