As AI rapidly becomes embedded in professional work, credentialing organizations face a critical question: if AI is part of practice, should it become part of assessment? This interactive debate examines opposing perspectives on whether generative AI should be permitted in high-stakes credentialing exams. One side argues that authentic assessment must evolve alongside workplace reality and assess human–AI collaboration. The other argues that unrestricted AI use threatens validity, independent competence, and public trust. Audience polling, scenario discussions, and real-time participation will help gauge where the profession stands and where assessment may be headed next.
