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.

    It’s a private school though, so I’d be cautious about assuming they’re poor kids.

    Edit: Yeah, it costs £27000!!!

      Fair - my conclusion in this regard was incorrect then.

      They’re still using children as guinea pigs though.

      The experimental AI programme is more expensive than the traditional course? What are they thinking?
