BONUS! Stoa Policy Debate: FRT School Surveillance (NEG)

Resolved: The United States federal government substantially reform the use of Artificial Intelligence technology

The AFF case cuts federal funding from K-12 schools who use Facial Recognition Technology (FRT), in an effort to end the use of FRT in schools. There’s a couple of problems with this. First, federal funding only comprises 8% of K-12 budgets, and what funding the federal government does give to schools goes to things like libraries and low income students. Second, FRT is increasing school security. Third, the claims that FRT is biased and inaccurate are false, and any harm on student privacy is non-unique.
