AI in the classroom prompts tide of concern from US parents and experts

The Guardian

'There is this overwhelming sense that ed tech companies are deciding what kids learn, and teachers are just being put into this position of tech support instead of driving the decisions about what is best for kids in terms of learning.' 'There is this overwhelming sense that ed tech companies are deciding what kids learn, and teachers are just being put into this position of tech support instead of driving the decisions about what is best for kids in terms of learning.' In October, Kelly Clancy's son received an assignment in sixth grade at a middle school in Brooklyn, New York, to create a science experiment and then ask Google Gemini, an artificial intelligence chatbot, for feedback, she said. Clancy, who has three children in New York City public schools, told the teacher that the bot "is something that just teaches kids that they can have machines do the thinking for them", instead of suggesting: "Let's talk to your partners. What about the science experiment could you improve?" Clancy also founded Parents for AI Caution in Educational Spaces, a group pushing the city to institute a two-year moratorium on using AI in its public schools.

Why an AI company cleaned my New York City apartment for free

BBC News

Picture this: a team of camera-clad cleaners and a private chef to boot, all wired with high-tech recording apparatus show up at your home. You are not part of a reality TV show, and have not woken up in an Aldous Huxley or Margaret Atwood novel. Instead, you are a resident of New York City, where AI companies are sending free cooking and cleaning staff straight to people's doors. But, there is a catch: this AI company is gathering data to train the next generation of cooking and cleaning robots, and every inch of your apartment is now being recorded. The initiative, dubbed Shift by AI firm Micro AGI, is part of a growing number of companies developing the next generation of autonomous robots, which tech bosses hope will be able to do everything from the washing up to serving as live-in personal carers.

Painting bought for 100 in US charity shop sells for 190,000

BBC News

A painting bought for less than $100 (£75) in a US charity shop in the 1960s has sold for almost £190,000 at auction. Art teacher Helene Plotkin bought the work by Scottish Colourist FCB Cadell in White Plains, New York in 1966, unaware of its true value. The painting, Interior: The Lady in Black, hung in her living room for 60 years - but the artist's signature was illegible and was only recently identified. It sold for £189,200, including buyer's premium, in Edinburgh as part of Lyon & Turnbull's Scottish painting and sculpture auction. The background to the painting only became clear when Helene's son Barry began his own research into it and took it for a valuation last year.
