Arizona School Launches AI-Based Learning Model

SAIT acknowledges its location on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi and Treaty 7 peoples, emphasizing the historical significance of the area now known as Calgary. The Atal Innovation Mission, in collaboration with the UNDP and Citi Foundation, has launched the Youth Co:Lab National Innovation Challenge for 2024-2025, inviting young entrepreneurs to develop assistive technology solutions for Persons with Disabilities, with applications open until January 18, 2025. The rise of artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry raises concerns about representation and inclusion for disabled individuals, with industry leaders discussing the potential of AI to both erase and empower disability narratives. Meanwhile, Unbound Academy, an Arizona online charter school, will incorporate AI into its educational model, aiming to enhance learning while maintaining a human element in teaching. This development reflects a broader trend of integrating AI in education, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated the adoption of technology in classrooms. The school plans to enroll around 200 students in its first year, covering grades 4 to 8, with hopes for future expansion.
