AI-base surveillance of students

samedi 10 avril 2021 à 02:00

Moral arguments against AI-based surveillance of students, in exams or not.

The article uses the term "ablism" in a way I think is incorrect. A tendency to move your head around while thinking is not a disability, merely a quirk. So if a system penalizes people for such head movements, I think the term "quirkism", meaning "prejudice against people because of quirks", describes that system better.

Whatever name we call it, it is bad for systems to show prejudice against quirks like that.

The article does not mention the essential basic injustice of proctoring systems: they are nonfree software that the student is required to run.
