Middle School In Kerala, India, Shows Teacher Artificial Intelligence

JAKARTA - A high school in Kerala, India, has appointed an artificial intelligence (AI) teacher who uses a generating AI to provide personalized education to students.

Fear of AI taking over human work has increased as technological developments, with industries such as programming, videography, and writing threatened. However, KTCT Higher Secondary School at Thiruvananthamapuram, Kerala, added AI teaching to the list after being the first to employ a humanoid AI.

The new teacher today is equipped with an Intel processor and a coprocessor dedicated.

An AI teacher, Iris, was developed in partnership with online learning provider Makerlabs as part of the Atalaturing Lab (ATL) project by NITI Ayog, an Indian government agency.

The humanoid can speak in three languages and respond to complex questions. According to Makerlabs, the AI teacher was built specifically to provide personalized learning to each student.

"By adapting to the needs and preferences of each student, IRIS empowers educators to provide interesting and effective lessons as never happened before," the company said.

India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology recently issued a directive stating that technology companies developing new laboratory-level AI tools need government approval before being released publicly on the internet.

According to directives released by India's IT Ministry on March 1, this approval should be given before the public release of "unreliable" AI tools or still in the testing phase, and the tools should be labeled to possibly provide inaccurate answers to questions.

"The availability for users on the Indian Internet must be carried out with an explicit permit from the Government of India," the Indian IT ministry said.

The new directive comes as soon as one of India's most senior ministers highlighted Google and Gemini's AI tools for inaccurate or biased answers, including one that said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been described by some as fascists.
