Show Notes
Colleges across the U.S. are combating cheating with AI by reviving oral exams, such as those implemented at Cornell University. This Socratic-style method ensures students truly understand the material, as AI cannot assist during live questioning. Schools like the University of Pennsylvania and New York University are also shifting to more in-person tests, pairing written assignments with oral defenses or class presentations. Educators worry that AI is eroding students critical thinking and creativity, leading to a move toward these methods to restore lost abilities. One innovative approach comes from New York University, where a professor uses an AI voice agent for remote oral finals. As AI evolves, expect more schools to lean on these human-centered tests to keep education honest.
