Alpha Private School offers one-on-one AI instruction by
historical figures
At Alpha Private School in Austin, Texas, children will
learn math from Albert Einstein and civil rights from
Martin Luther King Jr.
The Alpha School believes core subjects can be taught
effectively by having children work one-on-one with
an AI instructor for two hours daily.
In an interview on NewsNation’s “On Balance with Leland
Vittert,” co-founder MacKenzie Price said the school uses
AI instructors that mimic historical figures and experts,
allowing students to learn from the likes of Albert Einstein,
George Washington and Martin Luther King.
“We don’t have academic teachers. We are using adaptive,
personalized apps, along with some AI technology, in order
to create a really unique one-on-one environment for kids
to learn at their appropriate pace and level,” Price said.

Ah ... they mean IMAGINED "historical figures". The
"AI"s can easily be BIASED to tilt towards some
preferred direction.
But do the little kiddies KNOW that ???
There's something called the "White-Coat Effect" where
the mere LOOK of Science/Tech causes people to suspend
disbelief.
"AI" appears to be ideal for such manipulations. Doesn't
matter if the tilt is 'left' or 'right' or whatever ...
it WILL be a deliberate distortion to support SOMEBODY'S
agenda. MicroSoft and Goog have already "fixed" their AI
projects so they won't draw 'racist'/'sexist' conclusions
from the news/stats they absorb. Pure pandering politics,
so much for "reality" and the hard questions that
often provokes.
