Doctors, when it's your turn to take a mandatory online refresher course, make sure to keep your eye on the screen, because the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) is keeping a close 'AI' on you. To ensure medical practitioners don't cheat, the council has introduced AI technology capable of facial recognition and tracking eye movements.

The futuristic system will only work on devices that have a front-facing camera, as doctors won't be able to log into their account until the system scans and recognises their face. There are as many as 1.4 lakh registered doctors in the state, each with an individual account on the MMC software, called Omnicuris. Once they log in, they can attend virtual classrooms with pre-recorded videos of conferences, as per their specialisation.
