An Indian high school in Kerala has appointed an artificial intelligence (AI) teacher equipped with an Intel processor who uses generative AI to deliver individualized instruction to the students.
Concerns regarding the potential dominance of AI have escalated in tandem with technological advancements, putting writing, videography, and coding in jeopardy.
Having been the first institution to employ an AI humanoid, KTCT Higher Secondary School in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, subsequently expanded its offerings to include instruction.
Aside from that, the contemporary high school instructor possesses a specialized coprocessor and an Intel processor.
NITI Aayog, an Indian government agency, collaborated with e-learning provider Makerlabs to develop the AI instructor Iris as part of the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) initiative.
The humanoid is capable of responding to complex inquiries and speaking three languages. The purpose of the AI teacher, according to Makerlabs, was to provide individualized instruction for each student.
The company stated, “By adapting to the needs and preferences of each student, IRIS enables educators to deliver more engaging and effective lessons than ever before.”
A recent advisory from the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology stipulates that before public dissemination on the internet, tech companies developing new AI tools at the lab level must obtain government approval.
As per the advisory issued by the IT Ministry of India on March 1, this sanction must be obtained before the public debut of AI tools deemed “unreliable” or still in the trial phase. Furthermore, such tools should be appropriately labeled to indicate the possibility that they may deliver inaccurate responses to inquiries. Moreover, the ministry stated:
“Availability to the users on Indian Internet must be done so with explicit permission of the Government of India.”
A recent advisory follows closely after a high-ranking minister from India criticized Google and its artificial intelligence tool Gemini for providing erroneous or partial information, one of which claimed that certain individuals have labeled Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a fascist.
