South Korea to Criminally Charge Students Cheating with AI Smart Glasses
South Korea plans to criminally charge students caught cheating on national university entrance exams using AI-powered smart glasses. The education ministry will seek to extend the ban on retaking exams from one to three years for offenders, with changes expected to take effect from next year. The move follows incidents of students caught with smart glasses during exams in Seoul. Additional measures include assigning staff to monitor suspicious eyewear amid growing concerns about the devices' misuse globally.
