AI Jargon Buster
AI news and the language around it, simplified.
What is AI Proctoring?
AI proctoring monitors candidates during online tests and assessments through the webcam and browser, flagging behaviour it interprets as cheating, such as looking away repeatedly, other people in the room, or switching tabs.
Why this matters to you
Knowing you are being monitored changes how you should set up: a quiet room, no second screens, phone away, and stay in the test window. Innocent behaviour that looks suspicious can still get flagged for review.
How you might hear this
AI proctoring flagged her test because a family member walked through the room, and she had to explain it before the result was accepted.
