Korean YouTuber says AI glasses answered 160 real tax accountant exam questions correctly; top scorer separately admits to using AI to cheat

The top scorer in South Korea's 63rd tax accountant exam admitted to cheating using a miniature camera, a smartphone and generative AI, and the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has accepted his self-surrender and opened an investigation. He used this method in the first and second rounds of the tax accountant exam and in the first round of the certified public accountant exam, and scored 397.5 out of 400 in the first round of the tax accountant exam. The IT YouTuber 테크몽 connected Rokid AI glasses to Anthropic's Claude and demonstrated answering all 160 actual questions from that round of the tax accountant exam correctly, with total answering time of 49 minutes. The report also clarified that the top scorer was not confirmed to have used AI glasses, that the demonstration was not in a real exam room and used already-public actual questions, and that whether the AI knew the answers through training data or external retrieval still needs verification. The U.S. College Board revised SAT rules to ban smart glasses, the U.K.'s JCQ restricts unauthorized AI use, Turkey has had criminal cases of AI cheating, and South Korea plans to add a budget of 6.573 billion won for qualification exams and purchase 7,200 radio detectors.
