"Meet Observation Copilot!" writes Peter Greene. "Your principal can feed it a half page of loose notes about what he saw in your classroom, and Observation Pilot will pad it with a bunch of professional and framework-aligned bullshit until you have pages of mind-numbing argle bargle in mere seconds... And you know that this "tool" is only about five minutes away from the concept of letting a video-cam collect the "observation notes" and thereby reducing the human principal's contribution to zero." In spaces that are regulated - including things like classrooms, courtrooms, workplaces - this sort of technology can be blocked or severely constrained. But in the unregulated spaces in between - the job market, commercial markets, social media - the technology will be widely deployed. Legislation will likely prove ineffective; it's how we build these markets that will matter.
