Segment 1: AI Taking Over Teacher Jobs?
Narrative: We heard lots of gloom and doom about AI in schools, but this is likely overblown.
There IS however, a school that is experimentally trying to replace teachers with AI.

The David Game College in London will replace its traditional teaching programme with an AI-enabled ‘adaptive learning’ system, opening a ‘teacherless’ course for 20 students in September.
The students will use a mix of artificial intelligence platforms on their PCs, in conjunction with VR headsets. Dubbed the Sabrewing programme, each student will receive a personalised learning experience with a self-paced approach that is ideal for examination resit students.
More on the Sabrewing programme …
One important message for teachers - this WILL NOT BE THE NEW NORM
Stay tuned for segment 2 where we’ll talk about the ways AI will continue to incorporate with live human teachers, not replace them.
