1. The video shows AI being used to monitor students' attention levels and academic performance. Discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of using this type of data to inform educational decisions. In your response, consider the potential impact on student privacy, motivation, and equity.
2. Imagine a scenario where an AI algorithm is used to predict which students are likely to succeed in a particular subject. If the algorithm is trained on biased data (e.g., data that overrepresents certain demographic groups), how might this perpetuate existing inequalities in education? What steps could be taken to mitigate these biases and ensure fairness?
