Chinese AI companies have temporarily disabled certain functionalities of their chatbots to prevent cheating during the nationwide "gaokao" exams. This decision, affecting popular apps like Alibaba's Qwen and ByteDance's Doubao, aims to maintain fairness as over 13.3 million students take these rigorous tests. With rising concerns over students using technology to cheat, schools, particularly in the US, are addressing similar issues by reinstituting paper tests. Reports indicate that AI companies are responding to this challenge, aligning with the competitive nature of college admissions in China.
The disabling of AI chatbots serves as an additional safety net to prevent cheating during exam season, ensuring fairness in the college entrance examinations.
Schools in the US are tackling this challenge by reverting to paper tests as sales of blue books boom in universities over recent years.
