A New York school district has walked back plans to introduce a humanoid robot at its high school after the proposal sparked backlash from educators and community members.
The Salamanca City Central school district announced on 24 July in a social media post that its pilot project with Toronto-based tech company Realbotix had been put on hold “while we work through enhanced student data privacy agreements with the New York State Education Department and continue engaging with our community and stakeholders”.
