Overview
- The Aix–Marseille rectorate invalidated the 17-year-old’s diploma after a corrector flagged his HGGSP paper for AI-like features, including unusual length, structured style and formulations uncommon for terminale students.
- The report also noted use of a recent version of Microsoft Word with integrated access to generative AI, though the family maintains the exam computer had no internet connection.
- Diagnosed with dyspraxia and dysgraphia, the student has long used a computer and says he sat the test alone in a monitored room with a teacher and AESH support present.
- The family’s lawyer has filed an urgent référé de suspension at the Marseille administrative court to halt the annulment, leaving the case pending judicial review.
- According to La Provence, the sanction voids all his bac exams and carries a two-year ban from public exams with a suspended sentence, while the rectorate says procedure was followed and cites additional elements such as a rupture of anonymity.
