Parents and students are increasingly concerned about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the classroom, especially facial recognition technology, according to a survey by the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT).

The CDT report, released Dec. 12, found that more than half of parents and students surveyed were concerned about the use of facial recognition and other AI technologies, including location tracking systems, in schools.

Teachers, who also were surveyed, showed a higher degree of acceptance of the technologies.

According to the report, a growing number of schools have implemented such tools.
