Some South Korean test-takers taking the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) are avoiding rimless glasses after confusion spread that the AI proctoring system, not human supervisors, would judge cheating during the exam. The concerns have triggered anecdotal reports of candidates steering clear of certain eyewear, though the phenomenon is not backed by quantitative statistics.

'AI안경 감독관이 판단'에 수험생 혼란… "오해 살라" 뿔테 기피

Confusion over the role of AI proctors

The confusion centers on reports that "the AI proctoring supervisor makes the judgment" on cheating, which circulated among test-takers ahead of the exam. Candidates worried that the automated system could misinterpret their appearance or behavior, prompting concerns that certain items, including rimless glasses, could be misunderstood by the AI.

The exam operator's official materials and guidance, published on its website, address the proctoring arrangements, including images explaining the monitoring setup.

Avoidance driven by anecdotes, not data

Reports of test-takers avoiding rimless glasses are based on anecdotes and on-site testimonies rather than quantitative statistics, meaning the scale of the phenomenon cannot be measured with confidence. The claim that confusion over the AI proctoring system has led some candidates to avoid certain eyewear is judged Mostly True.
