Meet the $500,000 ChatGPT-powered humanoid robots acting as teachers, counsellors and translators in a San Diego school

California's Altus Schools has deployed two life-sized, ChatGPT-powered humanoid robots, Ameca, to assist teachers and students. These robots can act as tutors, wellness coaches, career guides, and translators. While hailed as a futuristic step, the $500,000 investment faces criticism. Early trials show promise but also highlight limitations, with ongoing efforts to refine their interaction and ensure student safety and critical thinking.
