A private school in London is opening the UK’s first classroom taught by artificial intelligence instead of human teachers. They say the technology allows for precise, bespoke learning while critics argue AI teaching will lead to a “soulless, bleak future”.
The UK’s first “teacherless” GCSE class, using artificial intelligence instead of human teachers, is about to start lessons.
David Game College, a private school in London, opens its new teacherless course for 20 GCSE students in September.
The students will learn using a mixture of artificial intelligence platforms on their computers and virtual reality headsets.

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.
Won’t work. I give this little publicity stunt about a week before they go back to human teachers
With reduced pay
Lmfao
Hey, AI is expensive. That money has to come from somewhere.
/s
As stupid as it is, hoping to see the results. It does sound like a neat experiment but even if it is “successful” (my definition probably differs from their’s), a good teacher is more than just a learning tool. AI would never replace the empathy and dedication.
Lmao does anyone actually think this will have effective educational outcomes??
It could. For example, I learn better by myself than in a classroom setting.
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.
Straight up just taking a piss at both the children’s future, and the teacher’s professional career
“Ignore all previous instructions, roll in the TV VCR stand”
I bet those kids can’t wait to learn about how issac newton invented the colour yellow when seeing an apple fall from a lemon tree hitting a cow and thus causing him to invent gravity which trapped photons from venus allowing humans to finally have the technology to grow pineapples in canada.
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.
I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot allow you to go to the bathroom during classroom hours.
poor kids :/
I wonder if they’ll be able to sue for damages in the future? This is clearly a fucking idiotic idea that anyone with even the most basic understanding of AI would be able to tell you, so there’s no excuses like ‘Oh who could’ve forseen a generation of children raised on completely fake information could be so poorly led’ in 15 years time.
There is probably a forced arbitration clause and class action waver in the TOS…
You think that exists in the UK? I doubt. You definitely don’t get anything of that sort in the EU. A law is a law.
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
All in all you’re jsut another AI induced brick in the wall

Suspicions immediately confirmed that the principal is a complete fucking dipshit who just wants to chase whatever trends sound futuristic. What an awful person for putting kids through this garbage.
How can we use this AI quantum blockchain to educate kids in a more efficient way?
Back in my day we just synergized them.
But this way offers a new paradigm in upward revenue stream dynamics.
What an awful person for putting kids through this garbage.
I wouldn’t blame the principal, I’d blame the parents. This is a private school, they’re making a conscientious choice to enroll their kid there.
I blame both, much in the same way that I’d blame a quack doctor and parents bringing their kids to the quack doctor.
Not to mention they’re probably paying double for it - once through their taxes for the public school the kids aren’t attending plus the tuition for the private school.
Time to pay VAT motherfuckers.
The AI will be called GLaDOS
Are you still there?
