The company says that it is not only fluent in the Arabic language, but also in “Islamic culture, values and heritage.” (If you have religious concerns about using Humain Chat, consult your local Imam.)
Oh man, that’s quite the claim. Someone is going to be facing some serious blowback with the Saudi authorities when this thing inevitably hallucinates some weird new and offensive “Islamic values” in response to some innocent queries.
“The school uses AI to monitor how students are working on their computers, recording screen activity & monitoring keystrokes. If a student isn’t taking time to read lessons, flying through prompts or not paying attention to the computer, a coaching tool will remind them to slow down & refocus.”

I don’t have kids but if i were to have one i would seriously consider home schooling. This AI nonsense is a trainwreck
According to that article Melania couldn’t even be bothered to read her own book aloud, and had an AI generated version of her voice for the audiobook. And she’s bragging about that as if it’s a great accomplishment.
I bet it’s very good at punishing fast readers and gifted kids who are utterly bored by how the first 2/3 of every school year is simply reviewing previously learned stuff.

Researchers and others raise the alarm about AI deadbot advertising : NPR
AI avatars of deceased people – or “deadbots” – are showing up in new and unexpected contexts, including ones where they have the power to persuade.
They’re giving interviews advocating for tougher gun laws, such as when the family of Joaquin Oliver, a victim of the 2018 Parkland school shooting in Florida, created a beanie-wearing AI avatar of him and had it speak with journalist Jim Acosta in July. “This is just another advocacy tool to create that urgency of making things change,” Manuel Oliver, Joaquin’s father, told NPR.
This is way beyond morbid. I just have no idea how you could do this…
Inspiring children and teachers to embrace “AI” will accelerate… alright just like that one box cut off. It will certainly accelerate some things.
Nothing good mind you. But it will accelerate some stuff.
