the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

q1 i? Most critics of AIED are not wholly opposed to all AI in education but raise specific criticisms of particular applications such as surveillance-oriented and commercially exploitative systems. → Neil Selwyn 2023

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
Theoretical commentary arguing from observation of the AIED backlash. The author notes critics single out applications such as online exam proctoring, plagiarism detection, and social media monitoring, arguing these "reframes surveillance as pedagogical care and safety" and let commercial interests profit from public education.
"most critics of AIED are not wholly opposed to the presence of all AI in education, but raising specific criticisms of particular applications of AI."
