Lawrence Schools Replace Gaggle with New AI Surveillance Tool
The Lawrence school district has replaced Gaggle with a new AI surveillance tool called Managed Methods, according to Superintendent Jeanice Swift.
Gaggle, the previous AI monitoring software, was at the center of a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by current and former students. It monitored the district's Google Workspace, flagging content deemed a safety risk, including allusions to self-harm, depression, drug use, and violence.
The district had ceased use of Gaggle during the summer, according to court filings by attorneys for Lawrence Public Schools, who argued for the partial dismissal of the students' lawsuit.
- The new tool, Managed Methods, has taken Gaggle's place, but its implementation was not mentioned in the lawsuit documents.
- The district's use of AI surveillance tools has sparked controversy and concerns about student privacy and civil rights.
