Here's an interesting article on the use of various computer vision
technologies (facial recognition, emotion recognition, activity
recognition) to monitor students in the virtual classroom, and the
social and ethical problems with doing so.
Intel calls its AI that detects student emotions a teaching
tool. Others call it 'morally reprehensible.'

Sample quote:
"... But Intel and Classroom Technologies, which sells virtual school
software called Class, think there might be a better way. The
companies have partnered to integrate an AI-based technology developed
by Intel with Class, which runs on top of Zoom. Intel claims its
system can detect whether students are bored, distracted or confused
by assessing their facial expressions and how they’re interacting with
educational content."
