Columbia University Suspends Student Behind Interview Cheating AI - Slashdot

Mar 27, 2025 - news.slashdot.org
Columbia University has suspended student Chungin "Roy" Lee for a year due to "publishing unauthorized documents" related to a disciplinary hearing about his AI tool, Interview Coder. The suspension is not for creating the tool itself, which is designed to assist job candidates in cheating on technical coding interviews. Lee had agreed not to disclose his disciplinary records or hearing materials online, but violated this agreement.

Interview Coder, priced at $60 per month, is projected to generate $2 million in annual revenue. Initially, the university placed Lee on probation for "facilitation of academic dishonesty." Before his suspension, Lee had already filed for a leave of absence and plans to relocate to San Francisco, which he stated was his original plan.

Key takeaways:

  • Columbia University suspended Chungin "Roy" Lee for publishing unauthorized documents from a disciplinary hearing, not for creating the AI tool Interview Coder.
  • Interview Coder is designed to help job candidates cheat on technical coding interviews and is projected to generate $2 million in annual revenue.
  • Lee was initially placed on probation for "facilitation of academic dishonesty" before his suspension.
  • Lee plans to move to San Francisco, which he stated was his plan all along.
