The Organizing Committee's response also stated: It has come to our attention that a recent project submitted to the Genius Olympiad was found to have a high degree of similarity to another student's original project. Both students were supervised by the same teacher. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the student's work contained 3-4 sentences that were identical to the original work and 3-4 sentences that were very similar except for the rearrangement of words. Additionally, a text comparison tool determined that the fraudulent work had 86% similarity to the original work. The review also examined both works against AI-generated texts and both were determined to be human-generated using two different tools. As a result of this finding, the Organizing Committee has taken the necessary steps to revoke the award associated with the fraudulent submission. Any associated awards will be forfeited....

As the Lao Dong Newspaper has continuously reported, since July 7, an article has been spreading rapidly on social networking sites about a student accusing students from Gia Dinh High School (Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) of stealing his exam paper in the Genius Olympiad 2023 competition held in the US recently and this was with the intervention of teacher Nguyen Minh Trung.
Meanwhile, QU's parents confirmed that QU took the exam. However, Ms. Tran Hong Diep, MC's parent - the person who accused her of "plagiarism" - affirmed that Mr. Trung had lied during the competition. Specifically, he took MC's exam for QU to take.
Previously, on the evening of July 10, speaking with a reporter from Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Ho Tan Minh, Chief of Office of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said that the Department of Education and Training had asked Gia Dinh High School to report on a number of issues related to the recent controversy at the Genius Olympiad competition in the US that Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper had reported. The spokesperson for the Department of Education and Training affirmed that the Department of Education and Training had received the information and was asking Gia Dinh High School to report and handle the matter. Specifically, according to Mr. Minh, Gia Dinh High School must report on the request for permission to go abroad for personal reasons by teacher Nguyen Minh Trung but instead accompanied students in an international competition.
