And similarly, obviously all of the AI stuff for kids, all of like the AI slop is like obviously bad. We've talked about that a lot already. The other thing that's like kind of like the worst is similar to what you said, Ed, like a level of surveillance tech.

And this is really tricky. There was one at Eureka Park. It's a South Korean company that's powered, I believe, by Samsung with money. And also they've access to like their training data. They're called Visomatic. And specifically why this exists, it is a camera that you can put on a computer. It will detect where your face is pointing and where your eyes are paying attention to.

And the reason why this exists is for online test taking. It's so people don't look at their phone to cheat. So it tracks where your eyes are moving. And if your eyes look down too much, it's going to flag it as someone's possibly cheating. So this was obviously introduced after the pandemic. There's a lot of online test taking.

Samsung uses this tech themselves for any kind of online exams that they as a company will put on, whether it's for people, students, employees. But they also had other features where you could switch it. I assume it's doing all the same work. It just displays differently on the monitor.

Instead, it can do object detection, what you're wearing, and the general behavior analysis if you seem like you're behaving suspiciously, which is something that we tried at the SK booth, which also is a Korean company, for their own surveillance detection.
