Top scorer in South Korea's tax accountant exam confesses to cheating with generative AI, says he used the same method in the certified public accountant exam

A, the top scorer in South Korea's 63rd tax accountant exam, surrendered to Seoul police and admitted to cheating by photographing questions with a miniature camera, sending them to generative AI, and receiving answers on a smartphone. He stated that he used the same method in the first round of the certified public accountant exam; his score of only 1 wrong out of 160 questions had drawn suspicion, and he had initially denied it. Two invigilators were right in the front row and still did not notice, and 5 cases of smart glasses cheating have already been detected in national qualification exams this year; the Human Resources Development Service of Korea plans to create an "AI Inspector" position dedicated to screening for smart glasses.
