An AI system was explicitly involved as a tool used by the candidate to cheat during the exam, which is a misuse of AI. The misuse directly caused a legal violation (fraud in a public exam), which is a breach of obligations under applicable law. The event involves direct harm through illegal behavior facilitated by AI, meeting the criteria for an AI Incident.[AI generated]
