What happens when teachers are replaced with AI? This school is finding out

The Alpha School in Brownsville, Texas, is experimenting with an AI-driven educational model, allowing students to complete core lessons in just two hours each day. Staff, referred to as "guides," focus on facilitating learning rather than traditional teaching. Students engage in personalized, tech-based lessons and spend afternoons developing life skills.

This innovative approach has resulted in high test scores and increased student motivation. Amid growing interest in AI in education, the school plans to expand further in Texas and Florida, reflecting a shift towards technology-integrated learning environments.
