I work in public digitalisation in Denmark, and I can’t think of a single reason of why you would ever even want this.
What’s the use case? Automatic student registration? If it is, and I can certainly imagine some HR consultant going “weeeeeell we can squeeze five minutes of extra education in if we remove this teacher-student interaction of registration, that’s a gazillion hours of extra education a year!”. I know this is a strawman of my experience, but it’s frankly the only way it would happen at my place. Which would be crazy considering the primary focus of Schools in Scandinavia is to educate democratic citizens, and automating something as meaningful as presence registration is damaging to that focus because the “AI” won’t be able to have a conversation about the usefulness of attendance.
So I absolutely agree with you. This is completely crazy, but what I really wonder is why no one asked “why?”.
