Two Candidates Caught Using AI Glasses to Cheat on South Korea TOEIC Test
Two candidates were caught cheating on South Korea's TOEIC English proficiency test using AI glasses, marking the first such cases in the country. The Korea TOEIC Committee invalidated their results and banned them from retaking the test for four years. AI glasses combine cameras and generative AI to relay information discreetly, prompting authorities to train proctors for better detection and consider banning such devices during exams. Separately, SK Telecom and partners announced a $500 million joint fund to invest in AI technologies globally.
