Victoria University's upcoming law exams will be laptop-free - in a defence against using AI to cheat.

Law dean professor Geoff McClay told pupils yesterday they'll be hand-writing their three-hour exams in June.

One student has told The Post their grade will suffer, because they're out of practise at writing and can type faster.

AI education expert Danny Bedingfield agrees written tests are the best way to stop cheating.

"You would like to think that you've got digital tools that will predict or be able to detect this - but unfortunately, there's nothing reliable out there at the moment."
