An AI-supervised remote exam went so badly that 58,000 students must retake it

Ars Technica 3 weeks ago 21 2 sources

UNAM administered its entrance exam remotely with AI-powered webcam proctoring in 2025, resulting in unusually high scores that triggered cheating allegations. The top-score rate jumped from 0.9 percent historically to 5.5 percent this year, prompting an expert commission to investigate. The university will now require approximately 58,000 applicants to retake the exam in person, with admission contingent on the new results.
