AI has entered the classroom
At Digital Pushout: AI Surveillance of Youth you will learn how artificial intelligence (AI) in K-12 schools is being used more and more to monitor every aspect of a student’s life.

AI has entered the classroom
At Digital Pushout: AI Surveillance of Youth you will learn how artificial intelligence (AI) in K-12 schools is being used more and more to monitor every aspect of a student’s life. Schools routinely use license plate readers, predictive policing, social media monitoring, drone surveillance, and automated vape detection technologies to discipline students. A recent study showed nearly 90 percent of schools monitor students' online activity and over 90 percent of schools use surveillance cameras1. The greatest impact of student monitoring is on low income students and vulnerable populations. In this session, the presenters will share practical strategies that defenders can deploy to challenge AI surveillance and collaborate with stakeholders to help ensure just futures for the next generation.
