The bot is programmed to tell parents about their child's grades, test results and attendance.
An AI chatbot named"Ed" will be the newest student advisor in Los Angeles schools, programmed to tell parents about their child's grades, tests results and attendance.
Carvalho took the stage as high-volume music pounded and fast-paced video flashed across a giant screen. The audience of district employees – mostly administrators – applauded as if on cue as lighting, singers, videos, dancers enmeshed in an annual address unprecedented for its production values in the nation's second-largest school district, a reflection of the superintendent's attentiveness to generating positive publicity.
"Imagine the power of artificial intelligence and comprehensive data working together to personalise an action plan for the benefit of our teachers, our students, our parents," Carvalho said. The chatbot technology, which will eventually reach every student in the district, will first be available at the 100 schools the district has designated as its most"fragile" – the most in need of improvement or special services.
