Facial Recognition: This incredible technology can be used to verify the identity of the candidate and prevent identity fraud. The system will verify the candidate’s identity corresponding to a valid ID proof and the examination process will proceed only when the identity is verified.
The system detects suspicious movements: With access to the candidate’s audio and visual feed, the system can detect suspicious movements. Let’s say that the candidate has hidden notes outside the focal range of the webcam, the system can still detect this malpractice from the suspicious movement of the candidate since they will have to move and adjust themselves to refer to the notes.
The system will know if the candidate is talking to someone: With access to the candidate’s audio and video feed, the system will understand if they are talking to unauthorised personnel and flag this behaviour.
The system can recognize different faces using facial recognition technology and will know if there are multiple people in front of the screen and whether the candidate is taking their help.
The system will know if the candidate is using electronic devices or books:
The system keeps monitoring the candidate for suspicious activities. If the candidate uses any electronic device, say a mobile phone, during the duration of the examination, the system will understand and terminate the exam.
Similarly, the system will also understand if the candidate is referring to notes or books during the examination and flag this behaviour.
The system will understand if the candidate is using the internet: Online examinations are conducted using the secure browser method. This means that the candidate cannot access the internet for purposes other than the examination.
The system will understand if the candidate tries to open a new window or browser during the exam and will give a warning to the candidate.
What does the future hold?
The possibilities with AI are immense and vast. AI already has a huge impact on our lives, whether we realize it or not. This technology has the power to transform many things from agriculture to finance to governance and, yes, education.
Education in itself is a dynamic sector, evolving as society evolves and its needs change.
AI could be the answer to answer the shortage of teachers in many regions of the world. AI is already helping students learn better by personalizing their curriculum. It is giving teachers real-time feedback, helping them improve and teach better.
AI is decreasing the load on teachers and administrators by automating so many processes.
With AI and Education put together, the possibilities are endless. What we can be sure of, is to be wonderstruck as the amalgamation of AI and education continues.
