China disabled AI photo recognition during entrance exams
China’s technological world temporarily restructured for educational honesty. Very unexpected. Artificial intelligence service developers disabled photo recognition functions during university entrance exams to prevent mass cheating among applicants.
In June, entrance exams began in China. Under the updated system, applicants take tests in 3 main subjects — Chinese, mathematics, foreign language with the option to choose Russian, as well as 3 elective subjects. To create optimal conditions, some cities even “froze” construction work and banned motorists from honking.
Social media users massively report malfunctions in leading platforms such as DeepSeek, Doubao, Yuanbao, Kimi and Qwen. When attempting to upload images with exam questions, systems issue a warning, I quote: “according to established requirements, the service will be suspended during state exams”.
Interestingly, at the same time, Chinese authorities actively use artificial intelligence to control exam conduct. In some provinces, applicants are monitored by a special recognition system that catches whispers, notices use of prohibited items and records suspicious behavior. This is when students look around or submit answers unusually quickly.

OpenAI head Sam Altman made a statement after numerous offline and online protests against shutting down the GPT-4o model occurred. And then turning it on, but with a wild router. I talked about this last week in maximum detail. Direct quote from OpenAI head.
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark published an essay that makes you uneasy. He wrote about the nature of modern artificial intelligence, and his conclusions sound like a warning.
Google company released a report on Health AI Agents of 150 pages. That's 7,000 annotations, over 1,100 hours of expert work. Link in description. Numbers impressive, yes. But the point isn't in metrics. The point is they buried the very idea of an omnipotent AI doctor. And this is perhaps the most honest thing that happened in this industry recently.
You know what's considered a fun prank among teenagers now? Sending parents a photo of a homeless vagrant in their own living room. AI draws it, TikTok approves it, and let parents have hysteria. That's the kind of fun going around social media.
California became the first state to officially shut up AI companion chatbots. Governor Gavin Newsom signed a historic law that requires operators of such bots to implement safety protocols.
