Alibaba, Tencent freeze AI tools during high-stakes China exam
The most popular chat in China, such as QWEN, has been disabled in Alibaba, including photo recognition, to prevent students from cheating during the annual “Gaokao” annual admission exams in the country.
Applications including TENCENT Holdings Ltd. Yuanbao and Moonshot Kimi Photo recognition services during the hours when multiple days are taking place across the country. Chatbots answered, “To ensure the fairness of the college admission exams, this job cannot be used during the test period.”
The strict Chinese “Gaokao” is a traffic ritual for teenagers throughout the country, and it is believed to form the future of millions of ambitious graduates. Students – and their parents – stop stopping any feature they can get, from extensive tuition to attempts to cheat sometimes. To reduce the disorder, the examiners prohibit the use of devices during the hours of hours.
Alibaba Holding Ltd. From QWEN and Bytedance Ltd. Doubao know the photos from Monday. But when he was asked to answer questions about a picture of a test paper, QWEN replied that the service was temporarily frozen during the exam hours from 7 to 10 June. Dobao said that the image uploaded “does not match the rules.”
China lacks a widely approved university application as in the United States, where students prove their qualifications through years of academic records, as well as uniform tests and personal articles. For the Chinese high school, Gaokao, which was held in June of each year, is often the only way they can persuade admission officials. About 13.4 million students participate in this year’s exams.
The test is the most important in the country, especially for those of small cities and low -income families that lack resources. It may require another year of high school, or completely change the future of the teenager.
The exam is also one of the most strictly controlled ways in China, to prevent fraud and ensure fairness. But rapid artificial intelligence development has put forward new challenges for schools and organizers. Last month, the Ministry of Education issued a set of regulations that although schools must begin to develop the talent of artificial intelligence at an early age, students should not use the content created by artificial intelligence as answers in homework and tests.
