Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system was explicitly used during the exam to cheat, which is a misuse of AI leading to a violation of legal frameworks protecting fair competition and rights in examination settings. This constitutes a breach of obligations under applicable law, fitting the definition of an AI Incident. The harm is realized as the integrity of the exam process is compromised, and the event involves direct use of an AI system causing this harm.[AI generated]
