KidWorks USA school in Hialeah has introduced an AI-assisted robot teacher named Pepper to help teach children about future technologies.
The initiative was spearheaded by William “Bill” De La Sierra, the grandfather and founder of KidWorks USA, who continues to innovate in education.
Pepper, dressed in a pirate-themed wardrobe, aims to engage students in learning science, math, and history.
The robot can be adjusted for different languages and is equipped with AI technology, initially operating with ChatGPT-based software.
De La Sierra emphasizes that Pepper is intended as a learning tool rather than a replacement for human teachers.
KidWorks USA invests $30,000 in Pepper and plans to explore more AI-driven innovations to prepare students for future technological landscapes.
There are concerns about the use of AI in education, particularly in the absence of clear standards and oversight, which raises questions about the effectiveness and ethics of integrating such technology in private schools like KidWorks USA.
