A charter school in Arizona recently received approval from the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools to offer a fully online school experience for grades four through eight that gives students just two hours of academic instruction per day — taught entirely by artificial intelligence. If ever there was an idea that sounds doomed to fail.
Unbound Academy will offer students personalized learning software provided by IXL and Khan Academy, both online educational resource companies. The AI will use each child’s emotional cues, responses to questions and tasks, and the time it takes them to complete assigned tasks to create tailor-made lessons. Unbound says they already have a similar educational model up and running in Texas.
