Whole China is of exams. So AI companies are laying their chatbots so that students do not cheat
In Spain the students recently passed By the Pau test (Before EBAU, EVAU or Selectivity), and now something similar is happening in China, where Chinese students face Gaokao (高考), the National Access to University Exam. And they do it with an almost obligatory novelty. Nothing to cheat with chatbots from AI. The most popular chatbots in China Like Qwenfrom Alibaba, have temporarily deactivated functions such as image recognition. They have done it precisely to prevent such characteristic from being used as a modern “chop” To help them during these tests. Impartiality in the tests. The same has happened with Yuanbao (Tencent) and Kimi (MoNshot), two other popular chatbots in China, which have also deactivated that image recognition characteristic. When trying to use this function, they indicate In Bloombergthe text “appears” to guarantee the impartiality of the university access tests, this function cannot be used during the test period. “ An exam in which the future is played. The Gaokao was held for the first time in 1952 as part of the reform of the then newly created People’s Republic of China. The access processes to universities changed during Mao Zedong’s mandate, but in 1977 Deng Xiaoping recovered them and have continued to be used until today. There are 16 provinces with personalized exams, but in all cases the conclusion is the same: these tests determine the immediate future of students In the academic aspect. Designed and printed in jail. Gaoako access tests are so important that they are designed under strict security by a small team of teachers. These professionals are sent to isolated site of Beijing as military facilities or prisonswhere they make the questions. They cannot leave those locations until the tests are performed, but it is also that most exams are printed within prisons and each “printing” is protected 24 hours a day by cameras and guards. Even its transport to the centers is done with security measures that one would expect in money transports from banking entities, for example. Everything to prevent the questions from leaking. Scratch note. Chatbots are presented as a spectacular help for these students, and students – and their parents – know it. The note of these exams determines whether the student may or may not access the best careers and university institutions, and that also depends on their future positions, salaries and even their social mobility. Competitiveness is also huge: More than 13 million students They are presented to these tests this year. To achieve better notes, all kinds of solutions are used, from particular teachers to these attempts to cheat. Of photo recognition, nothing. The tests have taken place from 7 to today, June 10. The Alibaba chatbots (Qwen) and bytedance (Doubao) offered the Image recognition for AI until last Monday. However, according to Bloomberg if a user asked for the solutions to a problem in a paper that was taken a photo, Qwen replied that the service was temporarily disabled. In Doubao the message indicated is that this request “did not meet the rules.” AI is fine to learn, but not for exams. In Beijing they launched recently A plan to integrate the teaching of AI at school. Although this type of discipline in classrooms is being tried, one thing is that they learn to use it and another very different that students take it to cheat in these tests. In fact a new set of standards Published by the Ministry of Education of China last month established that students should not use the content generated by the response in their duties or in the aforementioned exams. The objective: that they do not depend too much on artificial intelligence. Image | 绵 绵 In Xataka | The 100 best universities in the world excluding those of the US, exposed this graphic revealing
