In an effort to maintain the integrity of the national college entrance examinations (gaokao), China has implemented temporary restrictions on AI chatbot capabilities. Leading Chinese AI developers, including Alibaba (Qwen), ByteDance (Doubao), Tencent (Yuanbao), and Moonshot (Kimi), have suspended or limited image recognition features within their applications during exam hours. These measures are specifically designed to prevent students from using AI to potentially cheat by analyzing exam questions via images, ensuring a fair and equitable testing environment for the highly competitive gaokao, which determines university admissions across the country.
