As over 13 million students participated in China's gaokao college entrance exam, strict anti-cheating measures were in place, including facial recognition and drone surveillance. Despite these precautions, the rise of new cheating methods, particularly those involving AI technologies, posed fresh challenges. Leading Chinese tech companies, like Tencent, suspended certain AI features during the exam to uphold testing integrity. Established in 2015 as a criminal act, cheating on the gaokao continues to highlight the intense pressures surrounding this pivotal educational milestone for China’s youth, emphasizing both its status as an equalizer and a target for manipulation.
As the prestigious gaokao exam takes place, new anti-cheating measures, including AI interventions, reflect the evolving challenges and integrity issues surrounding high-stakes testing in China.
The gaokao is seen as a critical social equalizer, yet the sophistication of cheating methods continues to evolve, attracting both technological deterrents and new avenues for dishonesty.
