Chungin 'Roy' Lee, a Columbia University student, has been suspended for a year after creating an AI tool called Interview Coder that assists candidates in cheating during coding interviews. The suspension was not directly related to the tool itself but rather for sharing unauthorized content from a disciplinary hearing. Lee's actions included posting a recording and images from the hearing on social media, which violated university policies.
Despite the controversy surrounding his AI tool, Lee expressed surprise at the university's decision to take action against him, as he believed technical interviews fell outside the university's jurisdiction. He had anticipated a more lenient outcome after attending the initial hearing. Following the suspension, Lee plans to relocate to San Francisco, where he aims to continue developing his AI startup.
