These surveillance tools are also incredibly ableist - think about autistic, blind, and other disabled people whose eye movements are atypical and will be flagged as suspicious; or people with ADD, Tourette& #39;s, or cerebral palsy, who won& #39;t move the mouse or keys typically either. https://twitter.com/fightfortheftr/status/1312476588349386752">https://twitter.com/fightfort...
And of course the ableism, classism, and racism in assuming people have access to a room that& #39;s quiet where they can be alone, for an entire exam. (Especially ones like the bar exam at 6 hours at a time.) People have support workers, roommates, aging parents, children, cousins...
But the AI software won& #39;t pick up on class, race, and disability related reasons that plenty of people might not have a space they can be alone and without background noise.
Not to mention this is creepy as fuck. And while it& #39;s meant for tests, the fact that it now exists means its underlying program can be redeployed in contexts where it will pose much more immediate threat to people& #39;s lives and safety. Surveillance is a tool of criminalization.
