  "account": "As Korea's College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) approaches, authorities are preparing to identify potential instances of AI-powered smart glasses being used for cheating. The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE) announced that all 239 personnel responsible for spotting smart glasses will undergo training ahead of the exam, scheduled for November 19. These personnel will be stationed at the city's 228 exam sites on the day of the test. Unlike previous years, radio-frequency detectors will not be provided for this year's CSAT, forcing supervisors and trained staff to primarily depend on visual examination. The Ministry of Education has indicated that they may consider utilizing similar equipment in 2027, once they have thoroughly assessed the safety and effectiveness of the available technology. The growing use of smart glasses, which can incorporate cameras, artificial intelligence services, and lens-mounted displays to capture and provide answers, has raised significant concerns about their usage during academic tests and admissions processes.",
