Benesse Corp. will provide a service that helps elementary school students use generative artificial intelligence to do their summer independent research homework, the firm has said. The service will be available starting July 25, the educational services giant announced Wednesday.
To prevent the careless use of generative AI from becoming widespread, the company requires parents to be present while their children use the service.
Users of the new service interact with a robot character on a computer or tablet. When users tell the character how many days of research they have and what they are interested in, the character gives advice on deciding on a topic and how to proceed with research.
