Testing the Effectiveness of A.I. Tutoring Bots in Classrooms.

Newark Public Schools is piloting Khanmigo, an A.I.-assisted tutoring bot developed by Khan Academy, to enhance student engagement and math learning. The tutoring bot is designed to automatically customize responses to students, allowing them to work on lessons at their own pace. However, the district is cautious about the risks and benefits of A.I.-assisted technology and is testing the tool in three schools to distinguish the practical use of new A.I.-assisted tutoring bots from their marketing promises. The experiences of Newark Public Schools could influence other districts vetting A.I. systems for the fall.

AI chatbots in education: Embraced or banned?

Khan Lab School in California has welcomed a new AI chatbot tutor called Khanmigo, developed in partnership with OpenAI, into its classrooms. The chatbot is designed to act as a tutor, rather than solve problems for students, and has stronger moderation filters than ChatGPT. However, some schools have banned the use of chatbots, citing concerns over inaccurate information, cheating and shortcuts. Khanmigo will be rolled out to select schools later this month, but experts have questioned its usefulness outside of the privileged environment of Silicon Valley.
