This scenario has sparked a significant concern: once an assessment is conducted online, it risks becoming public, undermining its future use. In this session, we'll host a panel with experts talking about how to make online tests work well and stay secure as AI gets better. They'll share strategic solutions, actionable recommendations, and innovative approaches to preserve the integrity of online assessments.
