A student taking Taiwan's college entrance examination, the "Subject Proficiency Test," was caught using AI glasses during the physics portion, prompting a stern warning from the examination center.
The incident occurred on the first day of the exam. Invigilators became suspicious of a student wearing AI glasses. After the exam, the student denied wearing them, but a metal detector, used for the first time this year to prevent electronic cheating, registered the device.
The specific details still need to be clarified. This case is currently undergoing information collection. After the Subject Proficiency Test concludes, it will be reported to the Examination Committee, which will conduct further investigations into any cases with doubts.
The center's director, Chang Hsin-jen, stated that while details are still being clarified, the case will be reported to the examination committee. Depending on the severity and impact on exam fairness, the student could face disqualification.
In a separate incident on the same day, a student in the chemistry section was caught photographing the exam paper with a mobile phone. This case will also be reviewed by the committee. The examination center urged all students to strictly adhere to the rules to maintain the integrity of the tests.
According to Article 8 of the disciplinary regulations, wearing or using AI glasses, depending on the circumstances that undermine exam fairness or constitute cheating, can lead to the most severe penalty of disqualification. We urge students not to break the law.
