$500k for AI robot ‘teachers’? US school officials hail physical AI use, but critics question its safety

Merely days ago, Norway took a stern step against the use of artificial intelligence by imposing a near-ban on generative AI tools for elementary school pupils. In an effort to give teachers back more power in the classroom, the use of gen-AI in the education of older students was also restricted amid a broad decline in education test scores. Instead of pulling a page from Norway’s book, a school in the United States has opted for the exact opposite direction, potentially making way for a kind of dystopian society we once thought only resided in fiction books.
