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.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
