Unbound Academy is pioneering an online school model that uses AI teaching assistants, aiming to significantly enhance academic growth. The initiative represents a major step in the long history of computer assisted instruction (CAI), which has evolved from systems like PLATO to the use of generative AI tools such as Khanmigo. While AI tools offer promising solutions to resource constraints in education, there are concerns about the impact on human connections in learning. If successful, AI-driven education models could revolutionize access to high-quality instruction, challenging traditional assumptions about the role of human teachers.
