Schools Are Using AI Surveillance to Protect Students. It Also Leads to False Alarms — and Arrests
AI surveillance in U.S. schools triggered over 1,200 alerts in 10 months with nearly two-thirds deemed non-threats, leading to false alarms and legal challenges.
- A 13-year-old girl in Tennessee was arrested following a joke made online that triggered surveillance software, according to her mother.
- Surveillance software in schools, like Gaggle, monitors students' online activities and reports threats to law enforcement, according to the Center for Democracy and Technology.
- The teen faced a court-ordered eight weeks of house arrest and a psychological evaluation after her arrest, as stated in a lawsuit against the school system.
- Experts express concern that using AI for youth mental health issues can cause trauma instead of assistance, according to Sam Boyd.
