Drills cover pre-exam baggage checks through in-room radio-frequency detection
Korea's Human Resources Development Service conducted a field simulation drill Monday to prepare for cheating attempts using AI-enabled smart glasses and other advanced devices at national licensing examinations.
The agency ran the drill at a national licensing exam center in Ulsan, simulating a scenario in which a test-taker uses smart glasses to cheat and walking through step-by-step response procedures. Officials checked whether examiner training, pre-exam candidate briefings and full baggage inspections, and in-room radio-frequency detection during the exam could all be carried out smoothly in a setting that closely mirrors actual test conditions.
The agency formed an "AI cheating countermeasures task force" in August to upgrade its response framework. The TF is reviewing relevant laws and regulations, strengthening examiner training and situation-specific response procedures, and pushing to introduce radio-frequency detectors and expand closed-circuit television coverage at exam venues.
A public contest for AI cheating-prevention content, open to all citizens, will run through Oct. 15. "The types of cheating are evolving rapidly alongside advances in AI technology," said Lee Byung-hoon, the agency's president. "We will continuously strengthen our on-site response capabilities to protect the fairness of national licensing examinations and maintain public trust."
