The Mauritanian judicial recruitment committee has responded to complaints from participants in the recent exam for 40 judges, stating that many candidates fell into a trap of haste and failed to carefully read the questions. The committee said that most complaints were related to the accuracy of certain questions and the examination methodology.

According to the committee, some questions were specifically framed within the Maliki school of thought, while others were more broadly based on Islamic law or financial transactions. The committee stated that it had used artificial intelligence to generate the questions, which were designed to test the candidates' knowledge and ability to adapt to complex situations.

The committee emphasized that the exam questions were carefully crafted to assess the candidates' vigilance and scientific certainty, and that the use of artificial intelligence was intended to prevent cheating and ensure fairness. The committee also stated that it had reviewed the exam results and complaints, and had found no evidence of technical issues or unfairness.

The committee noted that some complaints had focused on the use of multiple-choice questions and the automatic correction system, but stated that these methods were international standards aimed at preventing random guessing and cheating. The committee also emphasized that the exam had been designed to assess the candidates' knowledge and skills in a fair and transparent manner.

The committee denied allegations that the new exam methodology was biased against certain groups, such as students and graduates of Sharia law. The committee stated that the exam had maintained the same scientific materials and timing as previous judicial recruitment exams, and that the only change was the use of electronic tablets and multiple-choice questions.

According to the committee, the process of generating exam questions involved a rigorous series of steps, including the formation of committees of experts in Sharia law and law, who worked with experts in educational technology and technicians to train the artificial intelligence system. The committee stated that the questions were carefully reviewed and tested before being used in the exam.

The committee concluded that the exam process was fair and transparent, and that the results reflected the candidates' true abilities and knowledge. The committee emphasized that the use of artificial intelligence and multiple-choice questions was intended to ensure fairness and prevent cheating, and that the exam had been designed to select the most qualified candidates for the judicial profession.
