In a first-of-its-kind experiment, a school network in California has introduced two ChatGPT-powered humanoid robots to work alongside teachers and support students.
Altus Schools, a charter school network serving thousands of students across San Diego County, has invested $500,000 in two life-sized Ameca robots. School officials at Altus Schools have hailed Ameca as the “world’s most advanced AI-powered humanoid robot” and say the machines are part of a pilot program exploring how artificial intelligence and robots could one day help educate students. On the other hand, critics have questioned whether such an expensive experiment should be introduced to students, according to The New York Post.
