AI can help people pass exams, answer technical interview questions, and earn professional certifications, but can employers and educators still trust the results?

In this episode, host Keith Shaw speaks with Sarah Toton, vice president of data forensics at Caveon Test Security, about how AI-assisted cheating is disrupting academic testing, hiring, and professional certification. They discuss why AI detection tools may create false positives, how candidates can secretly use real-time AI assistance, and why returning to in-person testing may not solve the problem.

The conversation also explores a bigger question: Should schools and employers stop testing memorization and start evaluating critical thinking, problem-solving, judgment, and the ability to use AI responsibly?
