Sidekicks Kickstarter - A Fusion of AI & Education
Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2021 9:12 pm
Has anyone else seen this Kickstarter for an AI-empowered education program called Sidekicks?
Their goal is to create a holographic AI system that can be used in a number of different ways, including educational applications. They've talked about providing plugins for the app that allow people to learn directly from the AI system. Unlike Alexa/Siri/etc., this AI is interactive and, since it uses a holographic display, it makes it possible for learners to visually interact with it. I've spoken with the creator and he envisions making these available to schools in majority world countries, so students there can have access to educational opportunities that would otherwise be denied them. His vision piques my interest because it's an example of approaching our world's educational challenges with real innovation.
Is anyone else familiar with examples of AI-empowered education that are currently on the market or in the development pipeline?
