Seoul: Two people have been caught cheating on the TOEIC English-language proficiency test using artificial intelligence (AI) glasses in first such case in South Korea, the test administrator said on Wednesday.
The two people were caught while sitting the exam on May 10 and 31, respectively, after proctors reported suspicions they were wearing AI glasses, according to the Korea TOEIC Committee, reports Yonhap news agency.
Under committee regulations, the test results of both individuals were invalidated and they will be banned from taking the test for the next four years, the committee said.
AI glasses, which combine cameras and microphones with generative AI, can analyse captured images and relay information to users through the lenses or built-in speakers.
