In Hamburg, students tried to cheat with the help of a chatbot during the Abitur exams. At least one student has been caught with an AI program on his cell phone.
What used to be the cheat sheet is now the chatbot: According to a media report, individual students in Hamburg were caught trying to cheat in high school exams using chat software with artificial intelligence. In at least one case, a teacher found a smartphone with a program like ChatGPT open, NDR 90.3 reported on Friday. The student admitted the attempted fraud. With AI, texts can be independently produced for any questions.
School authorities in Hamburg speak of several suspected cases
The school authorities confirmed to the NDR that there are also several suspected cases. In other cases, teachers became suspicious when correcting because parts of the exam were defective, while others were error-free, as the broadcaster further reported. The schools then used software that checks the probability that the text was created by artificial intelligence. Result: probably cheated. However, the legal department of the school authorities cannot prove this with certainty.
The chairman of the association of Hamburg high school administrators, Christian Gefert, assumes that there was not a lot of cheating in the Abitur exams. In an interview with NDR 90.3, he demanded that the school authorities regulate more clearly how schools can deal with the topic of artificial intelligence. “Crucial questions about legal certainty have not yet been answered.”
