In the spheres of education, a notable development has emerged in Assam and the northeast region of India – the introduction of ‘Iris’, the first AI teacher in the area. This pioneering initiative marks a significant milestone in the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, opening up new avenues for learning.
Meet ‘Iris’
‘Iris’ is not your typical teacher. She is a humanoid robot, developed under the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) project, designed to enhance student engagement in schools. Dressed in traditional attire, Iris answers queries swiftly, performs endearing gestures, and personalizes learning, marking a milestone in AI integration in education.
Interaction with Students
‘Iris’ recently interacted with students in a private school in Guwahati, Assam. The students were inquisitive and eagerly engaged in various activities with the robot. They were in awe of the AI teacher, enjoying the robot’s ability to perform gestures like handshakes, which made the learning process both fun and engaging. ‘Iris’ has a voice-controlled assistant which helps it respond to student queries and provides detailed explanations.
The Impact of AI in Education
The introduction of ‘Iris’ signifies a significant advancement in the integration of artificial intelligence in education. The use of AI in classrooms is transforming the learning experience and catering to the diverse learning styles of students. The private school looks forward to leveraging the capabilities of the robot to personalize learning and make education more engaging for students in the northeast region.
The introduction of ‘Iris’, the first AI teacher in Assam and the northeast region, represents a significant leap in the field of education. It underscores the potential of AI in enhancing the learning experience and catering to the diverse learning needs of students.
