School Opens Its First "Teacherless" Classrom

Sky News reports that David Game College, a private school in London, has created a class of 20 students that are taught entirely by artificial intelligences. These students are preparing for the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) that assesses completion of secondary education.

The AIs evaluate what students need help with to prepare for the exam, then creates customized computer-based lessons for them. Much of the instruction is conducted in virtual reality. The school's administration argues that the AIs avoid mistakes that human teachers make and offer precise teaching based on the ongoing evaluation of teach student in the class.

The college still employs human teachers--for now--who teach soft skills, such as public speaking.
