Columbia University Suspends Student Behind Interview Cheating AI

Columbia University has suspended the student who created an AI tool designed to help job candidates cheat on technical coding interviews, according to disciplinary documents seen by Business Insider. Chungin 'Roy' Lee received a yearlong suspension for 'publishing unauthorized documents' from a disciplinary hearing about his product, Interview Coder, not for creating the tool itself. Lee had signed a form agreeing not to disclose his disciplinary record or post hearing materials online.

Interview Coder, which sells for $60 monthly, is on track to generate $2 million in annual revenue, Lee said. The university initially placed him on probation after finding him responsible for 'facilitation of academic dishonesty.' Lee had already submitted paperwork for a leave of absence before his suspension. He told BI he plans to move to San Francisco, which 'was my plan all along.'
