5 years ago today I sat for hours of cross-examination by Proctorio's lawyers. Today I am sharing the transcript in the public interest.

This 5 star Proctorio review was written by GenAI.

Finally got a hold of the Orion Newby vs. Adelphi University judgment.
Link: https://www.nycourts.gov/REPORTER/3dseries/2026/2026_26021.htm
In short, Adelphi used Turnitin to accuse Orion, a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder, of using generative AI to write an essay. He was sanctioned and experienced harm. He spent over $100K in legal fees and won.
People with ASD have been reported to have higher rates of false positives from Turnitin's AI detector. Stop using Turnitin if you don't want lawsuits.

OpenAI could have prevented the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, BC. A dozen employees debated contacting law enforcement and decided to do nothing. This is more blood on OpenAI's hands. British Columbia must take action.

Still looking for this judgment, if anyone has PACER access. I'll cover any costs.
I have been dreaming of this day for over five years. Proctorio’s lawsuit against me is forever over. I’ve won my life back!
Earlier this month, Google Chrome added a "Homework Help" AI button that automatically appears when taking an LMS quiz. Canvas, Brightspace, and Moodle were all affected. It encourages students to upload screenshots from within the LMS to Google Lens.
I didn't know how to put a stop to this unethical move, so I contacted the Washington Post and the article is out today. Faced with journalistic scrutiny from @geoffreyfowler Google suspended what it calls a "test".

Google added a "Homework Help" feature to Chrome that detects when you are taking a quiz in Canvas, Brightspace, or Moodle and gives you the answers using GenAI.
This got pushed out on September 2nd and the educational technology community is gaining awareness. This is going to be a big thing in a week when graded quizzes start happening at full scale.
Here's a video of what it looks like in action: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uT_IsBKYnMhQfiyWjHdpyuYbheoTxJbS/view
Can any ed techs replicate this today? Please share info with me!
Proctorio now claims to be able to detect the use of "smart glasses".
Recent research shows that Proctorio's software has a higher "failure to detect" rate for people with darker skin tones, people with head coverings, and people with glasses.
