California Bar Exam Controversy: AI-Generated Questions Spark Outrage
2025-04-23
The California State Bar admitted that 23 of the 171 multiple-choice questions on the February 2025 bar exam were created with AI assistance, sparking widespread outrage. This revelation follows weeks of complaints about technical issues and irregularities during the exam. While the Bar claims all questions underwent expert review, legal educators strongly criticize the use of AI-generated questions, especially given that the same company generated and approved them. The incident raises serious concerns about fairness, reliability, and the ethical and technical challenges of using AI in high-stakes assessments.
