South Korea is considering measures to prevent candidates from using high-tech devices such as AI glasses to cheat in national qualification exams, Yonhap reported. Lawmaker Kim Wi-sang of the main opposition People Power Party recently proposed adding about 6.57 billion won to the 2027 budget to purchase radio signal detection equipment and deploy dedicated staff to prevent AI cheating in national qualification exams. The Korea Human Resources Development Service, which organizes the exams, estimated that 3.6 billion won would be needed to buy 7,200 radio signal detection devices and 2.97 billion won to deploy 23,559 staff responsible for identifying high-tech cheating; the budget increase still requires parliamentary review. The service said AI glasses look similar to ordinary glasses and are difficult for invigilators to identify by eye, and that radio signal detection equipment would help improve invigilation effectiveness. As of the end of October, six cheating cases involving smart glasses had been detected in national qualification exams held this year in South Korea. South Korea will hold the College Scholastic Ability Test (the national college entrance exam) on the 19th.

South Korea Plans to Procure Radio Detection Equipment to Prevent "AI Cheating" in National Qualification Exams

IT Home, Nov 13 news, according to Xinhua News Agency, out of concern that examinees may use AI glasses and other high-tech devices to cheat in national qualification exams, South Korea is considering countermeasures.

Kim Wi-sang, a lawmaker of South Korea's largest opposition party, the People Power Party, recently proposed adding about 6.57 billion won (IT Home note: about 32.863 million yuan at current exchange rates) to the 2027 budget to procure radio signal detection equipment and arrange dedicated personnel to prevent AI cheating in national qualification exams.

South Korea's National Assembly had previously taken note of the high-tech cheating issue. The Human Resources Development Service of Korea, which organizes national qualification exams, subsequently estimated the required funding, proposing 3.6 billion won (about 18.007 million yuan at current exchange rates) to procure 7,200 radio signal detection devices, and 2.97 billion won (about 14.856 million yuan at current exchange rates) to arrange 23,559 dedicated personnel responsible for identifying high-tech cheating. The budget increase proposal still needs to go through parliamentary review.

The Human Resources Development Service of Korea said that AI glasses look similar to ordinary glasses and are difficult for invigilators to identify with the naked eye, and that introducing radio signal detection equipment will help improve the effectiveness of invigilation. Data shows that as of the end of October, 6 cheating cases involving smart glasses had been uncovered in national qualification exams held in South Korea this year.

South Korea will hold the College Scholastic Ability Test (i.e., the college entrance exam) on the 19th. In July this year, South Korea's Ministry of Education added AI glasses to the list of items prohibited in exam rooms. To prevent related cheating, South Korean education authorities recently conducted special training for invigilators, and all 1,312 test sites nationwide will be equipped with at least 1 invigilator specifically responsible for identifying AI glasses. Because there is no dedicated detection equipment yet, this year's college entrance exam will mainly rely on visual inspection.

South Korea's Ministry of Education warned that examinees who use AI glasses to cheat in the college entrance exam may face a ban on taking exams for up to 3 years and be held criminally liable.
