School without teachers? Parents offered to entrust children's education to AI for $65,000 per year
In the US, an unusual private school Alpha School is gaining popularity, where artificial intelligence plays the main role in education.
Instead of teachers — AI tutor and mentors who help children set goals and monitor their progress. Students complete academic subjects in just 2 hours a day, and the rest of the time is devoted to financial literacy, teamwork, public speaking, and other life skills.
The school's founders claim their students perform better than graduates of elite schools. Tuition costs parents $65,000 per year.
