Schools are turning to AI-powered surveillance technology to monitor students on school-issued devices like laptops and tablets
The article from WPXI discusses how schools are increasingly integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their educational systems to enhance learning and administrative processes. AI technologies are being used for personalized learning, where algorithms adapt educational content to suit individual student needs, helping to identify learning gaps and tailor instruction accordingly. Additionally, AI tools assist in automating administrative tasks like grading, scheduling, and even predicting student performance, which allows educators to focus more on teaching. However, the adoption of AI in schools also brings concerns about privacy, data security, and the potential for AI to widen the educational divide if not all schools can afford these technologies. There's also a focus on preparing students for a future where AI will be ubiquitous, teaching them not just how to use AI but also the ethical implications of its use.
