New York School Stops Robot Teacher
The Salamanca School District in New York has halted a project to introduce a humanoid robot powered by artificial intelligence into classrooms, following growing concerns about student data privacy and its potential impact on the role of teachers. The project, which cost approximately $60,000 to develop, was aimed at exposing students to modern technologies and encouraging them to study robotics and AI, not replacing teachers. The district administration affirmed that the robot would not be used for direct teaching or in recording personal data. The project has been temporarily suspended to review data protection measures and to engage in community consultations, amid widespread opposition from teachers and parents who value human relationships in education.
