By a 4-3 margin, the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools on Monday approved an application from Unbound Academy to open a fully online school serving grades four through eight. Unbound already operates a private school that uses its AI-dependent “2hr Learning” model in Texas and is currently applying to open similar schools in Arkansas and Utah.
Under the 2hr Learning model, students spend just two hours a day using personalized learning programs from companies like IXL and Khan Academy. “As students work through lessons on subjects like math, reading, and science, the AI system will analyze their responses, time spent on tasks, and even emotional cues to optimize the difficulty and presentation of content,” according to Unbound’s charter school application in Arizona. “This ensures that each student is consistently challenged at their optimal level, preventing boredom or frustration.”
Spending less time on traditional curriculum frees up the rest of students’ days for life-skill workshops that cover “financial literacy, public speaking, goal setting, entrepreneurship, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving,” according to the Arizona application.
This is insanity, humanity is slowly losing its mind. They want AI for everything.
“Want” =/= “capitalists seek profit at the expense of everyone & everything else”
I know people who use AI in real life a lot, I think it is fine to use ChatGPT to help write an email, but some people use it daily for everything. Now you can find AI in WhatsApp, so I am fully expecting people to talk go each other using Meta AI. I am just tired of seeing it everywhere, it is good for stocks though, just say the word AI and suddenly the stock skyrockets.
Yeah for sure. But also, most consumers hate integrated AI - apple is a recent example. LLMs are very useful technology, but they’re being sold as a way to replace workers - and thats why every corporation is racing toward them.
