UK's first 'teacherless' AI classroom set to open in London (archive.md)

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 wonder if they'll be able to sue for damages in the future? This is clearly a fucking idiotic idea that anyone with even the most basic understanding of AI would be able to tell you, so there's no excuses like 'Oh who could've forseen a generation of children raised on completely fake information could be so poorly led' in 15 years time.

There is probably a forced arbitration clause and class action waver in the TOS...

You think that exists in the UK? I doubt. You definitely don't get anything of that sort in the EU. A law is a law.
