BEIJING: High school students in one Chinese school may want to think twice before dozing off in class. Artificially intelligent cameras with facial recognition tools will be watching.

The Hangzhou No. 11 Middle School has installed a “smart classroom behaviour management system”, which captures students' expressions and movements, analysing them with big data to make sure they're paying attention, media reported on May 17.
