South Korea finds four cases of students cheating on school exams with smart glasses
An Education Ministry survey of every middle and high school found the cases in Seoul, Jeonbuk and Jeju; all four students got zero on the test and guidance materials go out before finals.
Why it matters
Camera-equipped AI glasses are spreading fast, and schools are among the first institutions forced to respond. South Korea's Education Ministry surveyed every middle and high school from October 27 to November 3 after two cases were reported in the media, and found four in total: one middle school and three high schools. Students touched their frames during tests or swapped ordinary glasses for smart ones; one was caught when a proctor saw a green light reflected in the lens. All four received zero, and the three high-schoolers face extra discipline. The ministry will distribute guidance in the third week of November.
