AI glasses-cheating

2 people caught cheating on TOEIC test using AI glasses

SEOUL, June 10 (Yonhap) -- Two people have been caught cheating on the TOEIC English-language proficiency test using artificial intelligence (AI) glasses in the first such cases in the country, the test administrator said Wednesday.

The two people were caught while sitting the exam on May 10 and 31, respectively, after proctors reported suspicions they were wearing AI glasses, according to the Korea TOEIC Committee.

Under committee regulations, the test results of both individuals were invalidated and they will be banned from taking the test for the next four years, the committee said.

AI glasses, which combine cameras and microphones with generative AI, can analyze captured images and relay information to users through the lenses or built-in speakers.

Some recently released models closely resemble regular spectacles, making them difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The committee said it has been training proctors to better detect AI glasses. Education authorities have also reportedly been considering a ban on bringing such devices to test centers during the country's annual college entrance exam.
