I will agree that certain biases are almost certainly baked into the software and that they will disadvantage anyone (and any situation) that isn't considered 'normal' by the software's creators.
If your argument is that they should be paying a person to sit here and watching a class of students while they're doing the tests, I'm not against that. They probably should.
But humans will always attempt to make their own work easier and less time-consuming, and this is a tool for that. Eventually, something like this is going to exist for distance learning. This is unlikely to be the final configuration of that tool, but it's a step on that road, no matter how much people don't like it.
What's needed are proper controls on the usage of the tool. And proper training. And proper oversight.
If your argument is for something else instead of the above, then I don't know what your solution would be. "Don't have school" and "don't worry about cheating" aren't acceptable.
