Numerous companies are leveraging these opportunities to offer cost-effective and more convenient means of student and employee authentication and test proctoring. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is a major future trend in the North American market. This technology is likely to be a major game-changer in the coming years. It can help test-taker check-in, detect suspicious behavior, and identify irregularities through data forensics.

The AI-based online test includes facial and voice recognition, eye movement detection, and object recognition. These recognition technologies help achieve results at a lower cost due to the lack of human interference. The AI technology ensures convenience by eliminating the need for scheduling a proctor, and with the use of advanced automated proctoring type, human labor is replaced by algorithms.
