A Smart Lamp That Watches Kids When They Study Is a Hit in China

What looks like a children’s desk lamp, behaves like Amazon.com Inc.’s Alexa and comes with two surveillance cameras? The latest educational fad in China.

“Smart homework lamps” have skyrocketed in popularity since ByteDance Inc., the creator of short video app TikTok, first introduced the $120 lamps in October. Chinese parents snapped up 10,000 units within the first month. The product’s popularity spurred ByteDance to ramp up marketing and its rivals to roll out their own versions, all while testing the Chinese public’s tolerance for more cameras.

The lamps come equipped with two built-in cameras—one facing the child and another offering a bird’s-eye view from above—letting parents remotely monitor their children when they study. There is a smartphone-sized screen attached to each lamp, which applies artificial intelligence to offer guidance on math problems and difficult words. And parents can hire a human proctor to digitally monitor their children as they study.

In addition to the basic version of the lamp, a $170 upgraded model sends alerts and photos to parents when their children slouch. That version of the lamp sold out on China’s largest e-commerce platforms earlier this month. Ni Ying, a 36-year-old in Shanghai who bought the basic version of the lamp in March, paid an extra $350 for three teachers to remotely watch her daughter do homework each afternoon for two hours over the course of three months.

China there watching all right.

This looks a bit genius, but on the other side, it's kind of creepy as well.

Using a lamp to check kids studying? Crazy!!! If you have no time for your kids do not born kids!

That’s some weird shit.

醉了，这有啥可黑的？美国学生写作业家长在旁边看着就是侵犯隐私？还没美国没有监控摄像头？

how to convince your kid they're always being watched when you live in a state that espouses atheism

Can see this working very well if it can actually teach and show how to do things (as opposed to just always giving answers). On the other hand, fuck the spying component. And fuck Alexa and Amazon for basically doing the same thing.

Leave it to the Chinese to continue to invent spying technology.

When my kids are home, I want them to feel relaxed,do their homework but without fear, geez! Knock it off!

Why?

😦

Do not do this.

Probably zaps em when they blink, look away, yawn, fall asleep, think thoughts , day dream. Breathe out of Rhythm. Itch an itch. Talk.

Kids learn more when parents spend time with them. It also helps building an healthy bonding atmosphere at home. Using such stupidity will be just an opposite where a child can’t discuss learning or doubts. Learning and studying are two different things.

Comparing China, is USA living in a stone age and they even has no idea what the AI assistant lamp does?

😃

Allowed 3 kids now . When will the world wake up and fuck them off !!!

Gotta indoctrinate them while they’re young to accept constant surveillance

Smells like Big Brother tech.

Sleeping with the enemy

This information is for the parents or for the party?

theunisduminy ffs man

wow

UGH!!

So the CCP can spy on your children as they study? I can think of fewer things more disturbing than this.

Reminds me of how my Mom used to spy on me to make sure I was practicing the piano. This technology is just a little more advanced.

More options to not parent.

So, you can either think god is watching you, or know that big brother is

This is sick!! The Chinese are indoctrinating these kids at a young age . They’ll be spied on for their entire lives . 1984 here they come !

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

The Jeffery Epstein Lamp™️
