Uttar Pradesh police's Special Task Force teamed up with the state Subordinate Services authorities to bust the racket
Not just guns and bullets, Uttar Pradesh cops have a new weapon in their inventory - artificial intelligence.
The state police's Special Task Force has used Artificial Intelligence in its latest crackdown on a cheating racket in a government job recruitment exam and arrested 200 people taking the test on the behalf of others in exchange for money.
About 2 lakh 50 thousand candidates took the statewide exam for recruitment to nearly 1,500 posts of village development officer Sunday.
According to sources, many job seekers had hired "solvers" to take the exam on their behalf. These gangs have now started using advanced image editing tools to modify admit cards in a way that examiners do not smell a rat. These tools, the sources said, "merge" the faces of the actual examinee and the solver in a way that the photograph on the admit card appears to be of the solver. A check by naked eye can miss the minute deviations in the photo.
