The Arizona State Board for Charter Schools has approved an application from Unbound Academy to establish an AI-based virtual academy, marking a notable shift in the educational landscape. This innovative school will operate with a curriculum entirely designed and taught by artificial intelligence, eliminating the need for human teachers. Unbound Academy, which also functions in Texas and Florida under the name Alpha Schools, claims that students can learn twice as much through a two-hour daily learning plan. The approval was granted on Monday, and the initiative is expected to impact how education is delivered in Arizona and potentially beyond.
