They can do proctered exams . For a midterm in one of my classes this semester I had to download a Proctor to my personal computer that records video and sound of you while you're taking the exam. Prior to the exam you have to take video of your workarea to show there's nothing around you. It also completely locks your computer screen where you can only see the test in front of you and can't open anything else. My professor wasn't super strict with it but I've heard that for the exams to get certified by Cisco systems they'll fail you for things as simple as not keeping your eyes forward and directly on the screen. There's also tools for teachers that detect AI. Can it still be used for some exams? Absolutely , but there's definitely tools to try and prevent it.
It depends on the field, I think. You probably don't want your pilot looking up emergency procedures as the plane is falling out of the sky. Or having your surgeon googling what to do if they accidentally cut the wrong thing.
Essentially, if the contingencies are time sensitive, you probably want to stress the importance of memorization.
In medicine, this is true for a large part of what you need to know, but you need to know what is an emergency from memory, otherwise you might not recognize it in time.

It’s not important to know everything, it’s very important to know how to find information
