This week's collection spans 16 articles covering some of the biggest conversations in assessment today. AI continues to dominate the headlines, from smart glasses scoring 92.5% in a real university exam to AI models closing in on expert-level performance in benchmark tests, and growing concerns around AI writing detectors and their impact on non-native English speakers. On the integrity front, wearable AI is creating new challenges for invigilators, whilst the AO Forum 2026 promises to tackle cheating tools and regulatory responses head-on. Beyond AI, the collection explores exam equity issues in Ireland and Quebec, a tech backlash against school-issued devices in the US, calls to move beyond exam-centric education in India, and the importance of robust documentation for exam validity. The 2026 International e-Assessment Awards and EdTech Awards round out the collection with recognition of innovation across the global assessment community.
