Police arrest students for using AI during exam in Turkey

A student in Turkey was apparently determined to pass the university entrance exam. To be on the safe side, he did not simply use a cheat sheet or his smartphone, but had the correct answer spoken directly into his ear via a small headset – almost like a telephone joker. However, the consequences were severe: the police arrested the university candidate and sent him to prison.

According to the Reuters news agency, he is said to have used artificial intelligence to cheat on the exam last weekend. During the university entrance exam, the student attracted attention by behaving suspiciously, according to the report. The consequences of the attempted fraud: the police arrested and detained him. According to the report, the student must remain in prison until the trial. Another person who is said to have helped him was also arrested by the police.

Router with artificial intelligence was hidden in the sole of the shoe

According to the media report, the police in the south-western province of Isparta also released a video showing the sophisticated system used by the exam joker: According to the report, a small camera was concealed in the student's shirt button, which in turn was connected to a router with artificial intelligence. The student was wearing the router – and therefore the artificial intelligence – in the sole of one of his shoes. In the published video, a police officer demonstrates exactly how the student's system works: He captures a written question with the buttonhole camera. The artificial intelligence scans the question, ejects the correct answer and answers it directly via the button in the wearer's ear.
