The Growing Concerns Over AI Control and Regulation.

The US Department of Education has released a report on "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning," warning that AI systems could be used to surveil teachers once introduced into the classroom, making their jobs "nearly impossible." The report argues that AI should never replace human teachers and that policymakers should work to ensure "adequate" protections against teacher surveillance. The Biden administration's push for AI systems that avoid teacher surveillance has the potential to reignite the political fight over how much authority teachers have over students and what rights parents have to know what is being taught.
