UNAM will maintain in-person entrance exam after online test affected by the use of AI

The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) will continue to conduct its undergraduate entrance exams in person following complications with a recent online testing pilot. Rector Leonardo Lomelí confirmed the decision, stating that the university will refrain from remote testing until a secure and efficient evaluation system is developed.

The decision follows an official report from the university's Technical Review Commission, which analyzed the performance of the online exam. The commission identified the use of artificial intelligence as a factor that compromised the integrity of the remote testing process, leading to the recommendation that the institution revert to traditional in-person assessments for the immediate future.
