Guess Which One Is AI?: Proctors Face Tough Test Over Smart Glasses

[Cho Yoon-ha / Reporter: I am going to try on all four of these pairs of glasses. Can you tell with the naked eye which one of these is an AI glasses?]<br /> <br /> The correct answers are number 2 and number 4. In particular, number 2 has thin frames and no visible camera lens, making it extremely difficult to immediately distinguish as AI glasses.

The CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) guidelines state that if proctors discover a test-taker suspected of wearing AI glasses, they should inspect and verify them based on the key features of smart glasses.

However, this is a daunting task for proctors who have never actually seen AI glasses in person.

[CSAT Proctor: I have never seen them even once. I've only seen them on the news, videos, or YouTube, but never in real life. If they look like that, I might miss them...]<br /> <br /> Proctors are even afraid that their gaze might affect the test, just as perfume is not sprayed in the testing room out of concern it might harm test-takers.

[CSAT Proctor: If a student is wearing thick-rimmed glasses, I have to go over and look closely to see if they are AI glasses, but going close and staring intently at that student can itself be a burden to them...]<br /> <br /> According to a survey of about 2,700 teachers conducted by a teachers' organization, 82% responded that it is difficult to identify whether someone is wearing smart glasses using only the current proctoring procedures.

Even if a metal detector is used, both AI glasses and regular glasses trigger the warning sound in the exact same way.

Test-takers wearing thick-rimmed glasses share the same worries.

[Cho Hong-yun / High School Senior: I had some worries like, "Will the proctors inspect these glasses?" Since AI glasses all look like this, I’ve even thought, "Should I switch to thin-rimmed ones, or should I change to rimless glasses entirely?"]<br />
The Ministry of Education plans to announce measures soon regarding cheating using AI glasses.
