UK authorities punish Nigerian for using ChatGPT during remote interview for NHS job
SKAiF NewsNG SNN
A Nigerian has been struck off the UK register after using ChatGPT to give answers during a remote NHS job interview.
The registered dietician was caught using AI to provide real-time answers during a video call for a job at an NHS hospital.
She kept asking the interview panel to repeat the question, before ‘slowly and deliberately’ repeating the question back herself to buy time until she had ‘model’ answers.
One of the panel members put the interview questions into ChatGPT, and noted significant similarities to the answers the Nigerian had provided.
Three different members of the panel suggested she was cheating both while answering questions in the interview and while completing a subsequent case study question.
She has now been struck off following a hearing at the Heath and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS).
The tribunal heard that she undertook the job interview for an oncology dietician role at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in March 2024.
The interview took place over Microsoft Teams because she was in Nigeria at the time.
During the interview, she answered personal questions with ‘great enthusiasm and spontaneity’. But when she was asked clinical questions, she often hesitated and asked for the question to be repeated. DailyMail
