Students in parts of East Asia are being caught using AI-powered smart glasses to cheat in exams. Last month, two people in South Korea were caught using smart glasses during English language tests. In Taiwan, a student taking an entrance exam for a top medical school was also discovered wearing the technology.
Smart glasses can look like ordinary eyewear, but some can send questions to an AI system and show answers on the lenses. Educators are worried because important exams can affect students’ future study and job chances. South Korea’s exam authorities are now discussing more ways to stop cheating with AI glasses. Taiwan is also reviewing its exam rules for this new technology.
China recently required checks of glasses during its major college entrance exam. Experts say schools may need to rethink how students are tested as AI becomes more common. Some teachers believe exams should focus more on thinking skills, not just memorising facts. Others say students should learn to use AI carefully without letting it do their thinking for them.
