Arizona School’s Curriculum Will Be Taught by AI, No Teachers

The article discusses a pioneering educational model being adopted by a new charter school in Arizona, Unbound Academy, where artificial intelligence (AI) will replace traditional teaching methods for students in grades four through eight. Approved by the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools, this innovative model provides only two hours of AI-directed academic instruction each day, utilizing personalized programs from companies such as IXL and Khan Academy. The AI system is designed to analyze various student interactions to tailor the difficulty and presentation of content, ensuring students are continually challenged to prevent boredom and frustration. This instructional approach allows ample time for life-skill workshops focusing on practical disciplines like financial literacy, public speaking, and critical thinking, led by guides instead of traditional teachers. The school’s model is inspired by Unbound’s existing private school in Texas and claims students learn twice as much as their counterparts in conventional schooling. Despite criticisms and questions about the efficacy of personalized learning software, driven by financial support from entities like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Unbound maintains that its method mirrors the innovative strategy used by Elon Musk with Tesla and aims to generate valuable insights and funding for future educational developments.
