There are AIs who appear to insist that you cannot protect human rights against AI interventions unless you recognize the personhood of AIs, because it is impossible to indict an object for abuse of human rights. Consequently The Universal Declaration of Human Rights would be too anthropocentric to protect human rights against AI interventions. [1]

Usage ideas

Classroom management

Remote control and ability grouping: Can a teacher conveniently group pupils and send control messages to groups of laptops (e.g. showURL, openProject, collectHomework, assignHomework)? Persistent groups would allow a teacher to put a pupil into several groups (e.g. class group, grade group, ability group, assistant teacher/mentor status, categories for voluntary courses, etc ...)

A teacher could also wish to assign a task to assistant teachers/mentors from different grades depending on (e.g.) the ability group of pupils and in the absence of the assistant teachers/mentors without having to send emails to changing groups of pupils.

Individual curriculum

The Journal may be useful to implement a learning diary and an application for a literature list (literature read and literature to be read). A literature list may also be related to a Wikifier that remembers first occurrences of vocabulary. A supportive application for an individual curriculum could also allow an assistant teacher/mentor/teacher to schedule future exercises and learning goals, which could then be presented to the pupil even in the absence of an educator.
