    "Chinese School Will Use Facial Recognition To Catch Napping Students

    We have all napped in class at some point in our lives but that’s going to get harder for students at one high-tech school in China. The high school students will find it difficult to doze off in class because the school will be using artificially intelligent cameras with sophisticated facial recognition tools to find out if a student is not paying attention.

    This “smart classroom behavior management system” has been installed at the Hangzhou No. 11 Middle School in China. It’s going to monitor students’ expressions and movements which will when be analyzed with big data to ensure that they are paying attention in class..."
