If your exams can be solved by AI, then your exams are not good enough. How to get around this? Simple. Oral exams aka viva voce. Anyone who had defended their thesis knows the pants shitting terror this kind of exam does to you. It will take longer but you can truly determine how well the student understands the content.
Works for PhD's, but try doing oral exams for 1000 Bio101 students.
For what it costs, they should be able to make it work.
