Webinar: Six Ways AI Breaks Assessments and How Proctorio Stops Them
As online and hybrid testing continues to grow and AI tools change constantly, it can be hard to separate the signal from the noise. Join us for a breakdown of the main categories (pathways) of AI dishonesty tools, like websites, browser extensions, desktop apps, and login services, and a look at how Proctorio blocks them while supporting a fair, flexible testing environment for every learner.
TranscriptDescriptionResources
0:00 Welcome and introductions ahead of the session.
5:00 Justin Depuydt introduces the framework for the talk: the tools people use for AI-assisted cheating change constantly, but the pathways they travel through are largely fixed at six or seven.
10:00 A walkthrough of each pathway, including AI websites, browser extensions, desktop applications, AI built into the browser, AI browsers, and AI login services, paired with the Proctorio countermeasure built to stop it, from tab control and disable extensions to advanced hardware detection and record web traffic.
30:00 Humanizers and paraphrasers, the pathway AI-generated writing takes to slip past text-based AI detectors, and why lockdown features like disable copy and paste close that gap during a proctored assessment.
35:00 Three practical ways to evaluate any new AI tool you're worried about, including a demo of Proctorio's free AI Pathway Identifier Tool.
40:00 Audience Q&A covering forceful screen versus desktop-level protections, detecting a second device, and whether AI-written answers can be flagged after the fact.
AI tools built for cheating change every semester, but the pathways they use to reach a test rarely do. In this session, Proctorio's Justin Depuydt breaks down the six (or seven, depending on how you count) categories that cover nearly every AI dishonesty tool in the wild, including AI websites, browser extensions, desktop applications, AI built into the browser, AI browsers, AI login services, and humanizer and paraphraser tools, and maps each one to the Proctorio countermeasure built to stop it.
Rather than chasing every new AI product as it launches, the goal is a framework you can apply to any tool you haven't seen before: identify the pathway, and the solution is usually already in place. The session closes with a look at Proctorio's free AI Pathway Identifier Tool, built to help you make that call in seconds.
