First-place candidate in South Korean tax agent exam accused of cheating with AI triggers full investigation

The top candidate in the South Korean tax agent exam surrendered to the police, admitting to using a miniature camera to take photos of exam questions and sending them to generative AI, then retrieving answers via a smartphone. He answered only 1 question incorrectly out of 160 in the first phase and scored full marks in all three subjects, raising suspicions due to his abnormal performance. As a result, the South Korean government has decided to conduct a full investigation into all national qualification exams this year, canceling the scores of cheaters and restricting them from participating in exams for five years. The government also plans to introduce comprehensive measures within the year, including introducing infrared detectors, strengthening exam venue surveillance, clearly prohibiting the carrying or use of smart devices such as smart glasses, and setting corresponding penalty standards, as well as setting up online and offline reporting centers. The Blue House has already held a meeting on the afternoon of the 15th, chaired by the Policy Room Head, to discuss countermeasures; as the South Korean college entrance exam is scheduled for the 19th, relevant departments are studying preventive measures.
