A new paper by Thomas Corbin, Sue Sharpe, and Phillip Dawson argues that wearable AI devices, such as smart glasses, will trigger a second wave of the assessment crisis. Unlike screen-based AI, these devices can act as real-time cognitive assistants without obvious external markers, making it difficult to enforce authenticity in assessments. The authors contend that current methods of identifying and excluding technology are insufficient for these seamlessly integrated, dual-use devices, raising significant ethical and practical challenges for educational institutions.
