Teachers at Euan Blair‑backed Multiverse report 'horrendous stress' after AI monitoring

Wow, this is monstrous. As if teachers aren’t under enough stress. People do not do their best work when they are surveyed, belittled and menaced. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The panopticon encroaches yet further — this sounds truly horrible www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Ofsted found Multiverse failed to meet expected standards in several areas, but praised the instructors as “skilled, effective teachers”. Shouldn't the private company be focusing on its faults, rather than using AI against its teaching staff? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is exactly the kind of story you’d want to avoid if you’re really into AI. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

You may have heard of Amazon using surveillance and tracking to control their drivers (if not, here's a fairly recent article: futurism.com/future-socie... ) Turns out constant surveillance is just as stressful for teachers delivering training for Multiverse.

Horrendously dystopian, but absolutely on point for the Blair brandwagon www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Teachers at Euan Blair firm report ‘horrendous stress’ after AI used to rate their work www.theguardian.com/technology/2... #AI #HR #employment

It appears that Tony Blair’s toxic love affair with AI appears to run in the family. Interesting to see that applying this stuff in practice simply results in sick workers, injustice, & hellish dystopia - no surprises, it’s just as predicted. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Best described like his father as a conceited arsehole www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is horrifying. Rather than consider the impact of the teaching on the learner, the teacher is stalked by AI looking for “digressions”. Surely the value of teaching is the effectiveness of the learning!! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Who could have guessed that using AI as constant surveillance of 'performance' would cause staff to have a breakdown.... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The Blair family stand ready to more fully exploit their workforce with ruthless and merciless AI taskmasters, adding to their vast wealth pile and making the employees suffer. Bravo Tony and Bravo Euan, already worth £350m! Now advising a Prime Minister near you. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The lad didn’t fall very far from the dad www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

One can only hope that a uni exec doesn't read this today and think wow, sounds neat - after all, why not go from panopto to full panopticon?: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Previously instructors were observed monthly by a human manager but are now watched for several hours a day by an AI" <<- ugh, ugh, ugh (+ show me the AI scores and monitoring rates for the exec team doing exec stuff...) www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
