Arizona’s getting an online charter school taught entirely by AI

The newest online-only school greenlighted by the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools comes with a twist: the academic curriculum will be taught entirely by AI.

Charter schools — independently operated but publicly-funded — typically get greater autonomy compared to traditional public schools when it comes to how subjects are taught. But Unbound Academy’s application, which proposes an “AI-driven adaptive learning technology” that “condenses academic instruction into a two-hour window,” is a first for the model. (Unbound’s founders have been running a similar program at a “high-end private school” in Texas, which appears to be in-person.)
