Industry collaboration will continue to strengthen fair, responsible, and unbiased use of artificial intelligence (AI) in exam development
Baltimore, Md. (May 16, 2024) - Prometric®, a global leader of technology-enabled testing and assessment solutions, today announced an extension of its ongoing partnership with 2021.AI, a leading innovator in responsible artificial intelligence solutions. By leveraging 2021.AI’s expertise on AI models and the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) of AI into Prometric’s solutions, Prometric continues to advance its mission of being the industry leader of innovative AI solutions across the Assessment Industry, ensuring that AI is being used in a fair and responsible way throughout the entire testing process.
“Our entire team is thrilled to be able to build on our previous partnership to build trusted, safe, and unbiased exams,” said Kevin Pawsey, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Prometric. “Historically, assessments have considered only a limited amount of diverse and equitable factors due to AI inadvertently programmed with human biases. Our partnership with 2021.AI will help ensure all candidates have an equitable experience, while also providing a safe and secure environment.”
Over the past few years, 2021.AI has been an integral part of the expertise used for grounding Prometric’s ProProctor remote solutions in responsible AI governance. Additionally, Prometric has also previously used 2021.AI Data Science expertise for the latest advancements in areas such as data forensics and machine learning.
“Collaborating with Prometric over the last years has been an exciting journey, and we’re glad to continue innovating for AI use cases within the testing industry,” said Mikael Munck, CEO and Founder of 2021.AI. “By delivering the best AI technology and governance on the market for Prometric solutions, test-providers can now develop and design exams that will result in fair, valid, and reliable results, providing test-takers the confidence of knowing that they were measured on their merit alone.”
In December 2022, Prometric and 2021.AI previously announced the unveiling of an updated AI system that could not only better protect exam integrity, detect misconduct, and ensure the highest level of security in assessments, but also work alongside live proctors and flag behavioral anomalies that then undergo a manual review.
