This review examine the importance of AI-based facial authentication to enhance academic honesty in the evolving online education environment. The landscape of education is growing due to technological advancements; maintaining acceptable learning results will become more challenging with the move to digital platforms. Explains the development and history of face recognition technology, focusing on the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its combination to create trustworthy biometric authentication systems. Focuses on the accuracy and reliability of these technologies’ use in person identification by examining in-depth AI-based face registration and authentication processes. The study examines the drawbacks of online education, comprising the increase in potential for dishonesty and impersonation, and how AI-based facial expressions can lessen these problems. It scrutinizes the research on the demise of conventional systems for avoiding online fraud and the rise of fresh instances of academic dishonesty, such as collective fraud and quackery. The following section of the paper addresses the numerous uses of facial recognition technology in education, ranging from virtual learning environments and e-assessment security to campus security and attendance control. It draws attention to how this technology may be used to progress resource allocation, streamline workflows, and create more individualized learning opportunities. The study also discourses privacy and ethical issues associated to the use of facial recognition in educational settings, stressing the need for accountable and open use that places a robust emphasis on safety of students’ rights and interests. This review make available insight into the transformational possibility of this technology in maintaining authenticity and quality of education in the digital era by observing the convergence of academic integrity and AI-based authentication.
