A student in Turkey is facing jail time after using a homebrew AI device to cheat on a test. The student was caught using the device at a school in the southwestern province of Isparta while taking the country’s basic aptitude test, according to Reuters. This isn’t the first time that AI has been used to cheat on schoolwork, of course.
It involves a button camera, which the AI system can use to look at the questions that are on the test. This is then passed through to the voice agent on the user’s phone, where it is transmitted to an earpiece that the student was wearing. According to the reports, the homebrew AI device was powered by a small modem or router situated in the student’s shoe.
