Under the current coronavirus restrictions, academic institutions are allowed to administer tests on campus to up to 10 percent of their registered student body. The software that films the students, made by the Israeli firm Tomax, documents what’s going in the room where the students sit using artificial intelligence, with the aim of identifying actions that might constitute cheating, like speaking to another person or suspicious movements in the room. According to the university, that program, as well as the Safe Exam Browser that blocks web surfing, have been checked; they do not penetrate the student’s personal computer and do not collect information from him or her that’s not related to the test.
