The rapid rise of generative AI has transformed the landscape of online exams, certifications, and professional licensing. What was once a manageable challenge has now evolved into a complex integrity crisis—one where AI tools can generate answers instantly, operate invisibly, and often remain indistinguishable from genuine human responses.
