Amid recent allegations of large-scale cheating using artificial intelligence (AI) at Yonsei University, similar signs of cheating have been uncovered at Seoul National University.
According to Seoul National University and others on the 12th, during the midterm exam for the general education course "Statistics Laboratory" held last month, evidence emerged that many students solved problems using AI.
The lecture is an in-person class mainly taken by students of the Seoul National University College of Business, with about 30 enrolled. The midterm was also administered in person using computers installed in the classroom. The school announced before the exam that AI must not be used in the problem-solving process, but it was reported that some students committed cheating by using AI.
Seoul National University said a teaching assistant for the course detected signs of AI use during grading and accepted voluntary reports from students, and that one or two students voluntarily reported having cheated. The university invalidated the midterm exam scores for the course and plans to hold a retest soon.
Earlier, in a large lecture at Yonsei University, signs that students cheated using AI were detected, sparking controversy.
