Nicola Mellor Wallace Dalrymple Joscelyn Coles
Description

As AI revolutionizes the assessment industry, it is also empowering a new wave of sophisticated test fraud. From deepfake-enabled identity fraud and digital document forgeries to organised cheating rings operating across borders, traditional security measures alone can no longer keep pace with these fast-evolving threats. But there is good news. The same AI technologies used by bad actors can be leveraged to protect assessments at every stage.

This expert-led session explores how assessment providers can adopt AI-powered test security strategies that are both adaptive and resilient. Drawing on real-world insights and emerging innovations, the session will share how AI-driven tools such as biometric identity verification, deepfake detection, real-time data forensics, and dark web monitoring, are transforming the fight against test fraud.

Attendees will gain:
•A clear understanding of the latest AI-assisted threats to test integrity.
•Practical guidance on integrating AI into pre-test, in-test, and post-test security measures.
•Strategies for combining human oversight with AI to ensure fairness, transparency and compliance.
•Future-facing perspectives on dynamic content generation, scenario-based assessments, and ethical AI in assessment.

This session is essential for those responsible for safeguarding European and global testing programs, offering actionable insights to stay ahead of threats and build trust in a rapidly changing landscape.
