      Imagine a classroom setting ten years hence where data about each learner’s movements, speech and facial expressions is automatically logged by passive capture devices within the fabric of the classroom.

All this data is used to update the class teacher’s pupil records and to provide data for an AI-based teaching assistant that keeps track of every learner’s cognitive, emotional and meta-cognitive progress.

      Why? To decide how quickly to ship the struggling students off to the minimum wage jobs, no vetting required!

      The AI assistant […] can identify and contact local entrepreneurs who are willing to come and talk to pupils about future work opportunities or how to be an entrepreneur.

      Edit: also holy smokes this document is hard to read. It feels like trying to swim through thin air. I didn’t realize it was possible to say so little with so many words, and that’s saying something as I’ve had the misfortune of reading chat-gpt output.
