With the exam scheduled to take place within a month, authorities are seeking to prevent AI-assisted cheating through heightened surveillance of test-takers wearing glasses.\n\nUnder new rules, exam supervisors will be required to inspect every student wearing glasses before each test session. Even the mere possession of AI-powered glasses without using them will be deemed cheating. Those found guilty will have their exam scores invalidated and will be prohibited from taking the Suneung in the following year. These stringent measures are a response to a series of cheating incidents involving AI glasses during recent university entrance exams.\n\nOne notable case occurred on October 10 at Yonsei University, where a student was caught with smart glasses during the entrance exam. Despite the fact that exam supervisors had screened the students prior to the test, the student allegedly switched to new glasses during the examination, avoiding detection until later on. A similar incident was reported at the University of Seoul. As the CSAT looms, teachers are facing mounting pressure to identify and prevent cheating with AI-powered devices.",
