Some students from Turkey were recently caught cheating using the help of technology that has recently gone viral.
We often come across numerous news stories about cheating during exams, with some individuals even sneaking in cheat sheets. Cheating in any examination involves the risk of getting caught, and those attempting it must ensure the invigilator does not notice them. Despite such risks, some students continue to find ways to cheat. With the advent of technology, students have discovered new methods to cheat in examinations. A recent story that has gone viral on Instagram highlights this issue.
A group of students from Turkey was recently caught using advanced technology to cheat, and the story has since gone viral. Instead of employing traditional cheating methods, one student utilized artificial intelligence. The news has created a massive buzz among netizens.
According to a report by Turkish media, this is the first known case of cheating using artificial intelligence. The police department of Isparta revealed that the student had set up a sophisticated system to cheat in the exam. He installed a router in the sole of his shoe, which was connected to the internet. Additionally, he had a small smartphone concealed in a credit card holder, a high-definition camera hidden in his shirt button, and a tiny headset in his ear. The camera in his shirt button scanned the question paper, and the smartphone accessed AI to obtain the answers. He then listened to the answers through the headset. This perfect coordination of devices enabled him to cheat in the exams.
The police officials were shocked upon discovering the elaborate cheating setup. According to local media, it was speculated that the student was using ChatGPT, although the specific AI service was not mentioned. The boy’s suspicious behaviour during the exam attracted the attention of the teachers, leading to his arrest by the police. The report further stated that another individual assisted him in cheating and was also arrested.
