Some of the richest people in the country are letting AI teach their children

Most Americans don’t trust the AI. It has been proven that it does not know what safe toppings about pizza. People don’t even want to listen I have music. But none of that matters to some wealthy Americans, who are turning to AI to educate their children instead of traditional schools.

Companies like Forge Prep and Alpha School charge families thousands of dollars to turn their kids into beta testers for AI teachers and “project-based workshops.” Unsurprisingly, Silicon Valley has been adopting this new model. Shaun Johnson, an economist in San Francisco, told reporters Wall Street Journal that she plans to send her son to the $75,000-a-year Alpha Kindergarten. He said, “We recognize that education can be broken as it is and there will be entrepreneurs who try to fix it…

Ignoring Johnson’s profound misunderstanding of modern education, it’s unclear how bad it is. sycophantic AI will teach children to “think critically and navigate the world.” It’s also about what Alpha School co-founder MacKenzie Price said she wants to keep “social problems” Which, in today’s politics, can explain women’s rights, America’s history of slavery, and our immigration history.” That may seem like a big deal when you’re talking about a preschool, but in some areas, Alpha School goes to a high school.

Companies like Forge also don’t share performance metrics, so there’s no evidence that AI-powered private schools are improving academic outcomes.
