Balancing Safety and Privacy: The Challenge of Using AI for Surveillance in Schools.

Some schools are using special computer programs to keep students safe online. These programs use artificial intelligence to look for signs that a student might be in danger.

The programs look at everything students type and search for on school computers. If the program finds something worrying, it tells school staff so they can help.

While these programs can be helpful, they can also cause problems. Sometimes, the programs make mistakes and think a student is in danger when they are not.

Also, some people worry about student privacy because the programs see everything they do online. They think it's like someone is always watching them, even when they are not at school.

Schools are trying to find a balance between keeping students safe and respecting their privacy. It's a difficult problem with no easy answers.
