Description
Gaggle is a Dallas, Texas based company that provides ongoing AI-powered surveillance in schools. The students' digital activities are closely monitored for indicators of certain behaviors. This surveillance includes homework, emails, photos, and chats, with alerts potentially leading to interventions that include police involvement. In some schools, Gaggle was integrated into all school-issued Chromebooks, working with Google services such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Sheets. Whenever students type something, Google's auto-save feature activates, automatically routing the saved content through Gaggle for monitoring. As of May, 2024, Gaggle is currently in at least 1,500 K-12 districts in the U.S.
