Alberto M. Carvalho sought to establish the nation's second-largest school system as a hub for innovation. "This is a technology that becomes a personal assistant to students," Carvalho said at a demonstration at Roybal Leaning Center, west of downtown. "It demystifies the navigation of the day ... crunches the data in a way that it brings what students need." Other school systems have pioneered similar platforms with chatbots -- as educators try to better engage students and families to improve learning and attendance. But Ed takes such efforts to the highest level yet, said Joanna Smith-Griffin, chief executive of Boston-based AllHere, which has worked with districts across the country and won a 6-million contract over five years to guide the L.A. effort. At its core, Ed is designed to give students immediate answers about where they stand, what they need to do to make progress -- or, more immediately, find out when their bus will arrive.

With the surge in growth of artificial intelligence, fears over the new technology have experts weighing in on what impact it will have on U.S. education. One economist warned that the technology will eventually lead to the elimination of teaching. "One of the jobs that is likely to be eliminated by A.I. is teaching," Euro Pacific Asset Management chief economist Peter Schiff told FOX News Digital. "I think certainly for elementary school education K through 12. I think at the end of the day, schools will be obsolete. Palm Beach Atlantic University professor of communication and Supper Honors Program director Dr. Tom St. Antoine argued, however, the technology presents educators with a "really good opportunity." IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY UNVEILS PLAN TO TEACH STUDENTS WITH AI CHATBOTS THIS FALL: 'EVOLUTION' OF'TRADITION' "In colleges and universities, we've been sort of obsessed with A.I. technology because for a lot of people, it poses little challenges like plagiarism and it sort of devalues the ability to do original work.

Rick Clark, executive director of undergraduate admission at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and his staff spent weeks this summer pretending to be high school students using artificial intelligence chatbots to fill out college applications. The admissions officers each took on a different high school persona: swim team captain, Eagle Scout, musical theater performer. Then they fed personal details about the fictional students into ChatGPT, prompting the AI chatbot to produce the kind of extracurricular activity lists and personal essays commonly required on college applications. Clark said he wanted to get a handle on how AI chatbots might reshape the admissions process this fall -- the start of the first full academic year that the tools will be widely available to high school seniors -- and come up with guidance for students applying to Georgia Tech.
