Carvalho, who unplugged school AI chatbot, wants task force to tell him what went wrong

Alberto Carvalho, who remains determined to bring artificial intelligence into district classrooms despite the collapse of the technology company leading the effort, will appoint a task force to examine what went wrong and how to move forward. The schools chief announced the task force in an interview with The Times in advance of Tuesday's annual address to administrators, which is akin to a state-of-the-schools speech. In his public address, Carvalho is expected to highlight academic progress and L.A. Unified School District initiatives. In a recent appearance, he said he was hopeful that standardized test scores would rise at all grade levels in math and English. Although school districts throughout the state have received results -- and can make them public if they wish -- the state has not yet released local or statewide scores.
