The children, who were in awe of the AI teacher, also enjoyed the robot's ability to perform gestures like handshakes, which made the learning process both fun and engaging.
Draped in a traditional 'Mekhela Chador' and jewellery, Assam and northeast India's first artificially intelligent (AI) teacher 'Iris' promptly answered all questions of students of a private school in Guwahati. In a groundbreaking move, a school in Assam's Guwahati has introduced 'Iris', Northeast's first humanoid AI teacher. It has been developed in collaboration with Makerlabs Edu-tech under a project initiated by NITI Aayog.#AmritMahotsav#TrendingTales#Ashtalakshmi… pic.twitter.com/Y5N576RHdk
The humanoid listened to the question - what is haemoglobin? - and replied to the student with all the details, a teacher of the school said.
"Whether the questions were from their syllabus or about anything, 'Iris' provided answers in no time and with examples and references," said a spokesperson of the school.
