How long will it be until society is completely run by AI? It probably won't be as long as you think, thanks to a private school in Austin.
Alpha private school recently began utilizing AI teachers to teach their kids core subjects.
According to KVUE, students work one-on-one with an app-based AI tutoring system the first two hours of every day. Alpha private school cofounder MacKenzie Price says, "So it's the educational information that regular schools are also teaching with, but AI apps are feeding them to students at the appropriate level and pace that they need."
Alpha still has adults in the classroom with the kids, but you shouldn't call them "teachers."
Price explains, "We don't have teachers. Now, what we do have is a lot of adults who are in the room engaging with these kids, working as coaches.
"So they're helping the kids get clear on what are some goals that they're working on, what are they doing academically? What are they interested in? How can we really turn on that spark for learning?"
