The rise of Cluely, an AI-powered application designed to help users cheat on job interviews and exams with an “undetectable” in-browser window, has sparked a counter-offensive. A number of startups are now racing to develop technologies capable of identifying and flagging individuals using Cluely. Despite these efforts, Cluely appears undeterred, teasing future hardware solutions, including potential smart glasses, to enhance its users’ ability to avoid detection. This development suggests a rapidly escalating arms race between AI cheating tools and the technologies designed to catch them.
