[Law] Turkish student arrested for using AI to cheat on university entrance exam

A Turkish student has been arrested for using an elaborate AI-powered setup to cheat during a university entrance exam. The student was apprehended by Turkish authorities after he was spotted acting suspiciously during the exam.

The student used a tiny camera disguised as a shirt button to scan exam questions, a router hidden in the shoe sole to transmit images to an AI model over the internet, and an earpiece to receive answers. The investigation also revealed that a mobile phone was used for transmitting information to an accomplice.

A video released by the police showed the system successfully scanning questions and delivering answers through the earpiece in a foreign language.

A co-conspirator, who allegedly assisted the student, was also detained. Both individuals now face serious charges, and the student has been sent to jail to await trial.
