After AI cheating exposed in top scorer of South Korea's tax accountant exam, government launches full investigation into this year's national qualification exams
IT之家 November 15 news, according to a Yonhap News Agency report today, after it was exposed that the top-scoring candidate in the tax accountant exam used artificial intelligence to cheat, the South Korean government has decided to conduct a full investigation into all national qualification exams this year to crack down on such cheating.
The report said the Ministry of Labor and related institutions decided to cancel the exam results of candidate A, the top scorer found to have cheated with AI in the 63rd tax accountant exam, and to bar the person from taking the exam for five years, so as to implement follow-up measures as soon as possible.
The government also plans to introduce a series of comprehensive measures within the year to prevent cheating in national qualification exams, such as introducing equipment including infrared detectors. In addition, they will actively cooperate with investigations by police and other investigative agencies and push forward the relevant accusation procedures.
The report mentioned that candidate A not only cheated in the tax accountant exam, but even used the same method to cheat in the first round of the certified public accountant exam. In view of this, based on the pattern of this cheating behavior, the government plans to immediately launch an investigation into AI cheating in all national qualification exams this year.
At the same time, online and offline reporting centers will also be opened to allow people to report cheating in national qualification exams involving AI devices. Monitoring at exam sites will also be significantly strengthened. Carrying or using smart devices (such as smart glasses) will be prohibited, and the corresponding penalty standards will be clearly defined. At the same time, training time for supervisors on how to identify these devices and take corresponding measures will be increased.
The Ministry of Labor and public institutions will also jointly establish a working group to conduct a comprehensive review of the overall certification system for national qualification exams. At the same time, they plan to formulate comprehensive measures to prevent cheating within the year.
According to IT之家's previous reports, IT之家 noted that candidate A, the top scorer in South Korea's 63rd tax accountant exam, recently admitted to cheating during an interview with a lawyer. A said he used a miniature camera to photograph exam questions during the test and then sent the photos to AI to look up answers. He claimed that he cheated in both the first and second rounds of the exam held in April and July this year.
A had previously made his exam scores public. In the first-round exam, which uses multiple-choice questions, he answered only 1 of 160 questions incorrectly. Among them, he scored 97.5 in the finance subject and achieved a perfect score of 100 in the Introduction to Tax Law, Introduction to Accounting, and Commercial Law subjects. Because the exam scores were abnormally high, some netizens later suspected whether he had used AI devices to cheat.
