In South Korea, the winner of the professional exam admitted that he cheated with the help of AI. The case is currently being investigated by the police.
The man took the exam for future tax consultants and answered correctly 159 out of 160 questions in the first stage - so suspicions arose that he cheated. But the man denied everything at first.
Later, in a YouTube video, he admitted that he filmed the tasks with a micro camera, sent them to the AI and reviewed the answers on his smartphone. The man apologized for the fraud and said that he had given a written confession to the Seoul police.
The scandal broke a few days before South Korea's national university entrance exam. The President's administration stated that they are taking the incident seriously and are preparing measures to prevent deletions.
