Are there any measures in place to ensure the AI doesn't just teach them hallucinated bullshit?

Surely that would be the GCSE examination itself?
Yes, not using ai is the guardrail
No.
Imagine paying to send your child to private school and then they decide to pull this bullshit. Classic profit motivations.
Fortunately it's a free market and I'd take them elsewhere.
Even Universities are riding the AI Dick, its so distressing.
So many things come to mind reading this, but the most important thought is: This will be how the bastards finally get rid of those pesky teachers and their gasp progressive teachings! /s I hope this fails hard, because a world without trading ideas to children is just prison for all.
The AI will be called GLaDOS
*GLaiDOS
Are you still there?
Lmao does anyone actually think this will have effective educational outcomes??
It potentially could, even better if it's still supervised by an actual teacher but each children would have their own AI, so teaching subjects could be personalized. This could mean slow students can still catch up and have bigger chance understanding the said subjects.
If the AI doesn't hallucinate incorrect information, I totally agree.
One size fits all classroom learning leaves many students behind, and having a personal AI tutor could really help kids fill in the gaps in their understanding that would otherwise be overlooked.
AI hallucinations is still a very real factor that limits the usefulness of this tech right now though. I magine coming into class and your tutor you had yesterday is confidently telling you the opposite of the fact that it taught you yesterday.
I don't know what AI these assholes are using but I only trust perplexity to research for me, I still check the answers and at least glance at sources.
If you're a parent, the number one thing your child needs to have is knowing how to question things and think for themselves.
Beyond that, point them to a research AI such as - but obviously not exclusive to - Perplexity. The AI you choose needs to be able to fact-check things well. So far I only know of Perplexity but I'm not some spokesperson so I welcome other suggestions.
If you can get the former, they'll live. If they get both, they'll succeed. If they only get the latter, they're doomed. AI will not fix this, only enhance the solution.
It could. For example, I learn better by myself than in a classroom setting.
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot allow you to go to the bathroom during classroom hours.
"B is for Buy-n-Large, your very best friend."
"And the Inner Party was safe."
"War. War never changes."
"Back home, you guys were the Nazis." "Maybe so, but does hating me make you any better?"
"People! Soylent Green is PEOPLE!"
"What is he going to find out there?" "His destiny."
Context always matters.
Time to pay VAT motherfuckers.
Straight up just taking a piss at both the children’s future, and the teacher’s professional career
That's stupid as hell. They think a bunch of kids are just going to sit there and listen to a robot? They don't expect them to take advantage of every flaw in AI? Not only that but it removes the human interaction element of development. And to just top it off, AI is so basal right now that it will most likely teach students erroneous information anyways. Why are so many influential people with money complete morons?
It's not that they're morons, it's that they don't care shit about others or the future of others. And that's why they are rich, intellect plays only a very little part in that equation.
Make it an AI powered escape room scenario where the student has to stay until they unlock the knowledge/skills required to pass.
They have to convince the AI that there are 3 R's in strawberry
No.
And I thought social media was the worse things we did to kids…
Now they are being forced to grow up in the UK...
Even worse London England, just the thought of being in England makes me want to stab myself with a pike.
I think climate change will top that list soon.
In USA it's far far more important to stop TikTok than planetary destruction.
For current Americans, future Americans, current humans or future humans?
