A private school in London is opening the UK’s first classroom taught by artificial intelligence instead of human teachers. They say the technology allows for precise, bespoke learning while critics argue AI teaching will lead to a “soulless, bleak future”.

The UK’s first “teacherless” GCSE class, using artificial intelligence instead of human teachers, is about to start lessons.

David Game College, a private school in London, opens its new teacherless course for 20 GCSE students in September.

The students will learn using a mixture of artificial intelligence platforms on their computers and virtual reality headsets.

    I don’t know what AI these assholes are using but I only trust perplexity to research for me, I still check the answers and at least glance at sources.

    If you’re a parent, the number one thing your child needs to have is knowing how to question things and think for themselves.

    Beyond that, point them to a research AI such as - but obviously not exclusive to - Perplexity. The AI you choose needs to be able to fact-check things well. So far I only know of Perplexity but I’m not some spokesperson so I welcome other suggestions.

    If you can get the former, they’ll live. If they get both, they’ll succeed. If they only get the latter, they’re doomed. AI will not fix this, only enhance the solution.
