First AI Teacher in Indian School

'AI teacher' Iris immediately impressed students when she appeared in February, speaking three languages ​​and answering complex questions on a variety of topics.

KTCT High School in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, has made a breakthrough by introducing an artificial intelligence (AI) teacher named Iris. Iris is the first AI-powered humanoid robot in Kerala and India.

This is part of the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) project, developed in collaboration with technology company Makerlabs, to promote extracurricular activities in schools.

According to Meera MN, principal, students develop many skills through hands-on labs, in many fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence.

“Those experiences helped us realize the potential of AI,” said a school representative.

When she first appeared in class last month, Iris, dressed in a purple and pink sari, immediately made an impression on the students.

According to Makerlabs, this AI robot can speak three languages ​​and answer complex questions on a variety of topics. The "teacher" is described as having a feminine but emotionless voice.

“When students ask a question, Iris generates a near-human response,” explains Hari Sagar, CEO of MakerLabs.

In addition, Iris' knowledge is broader than other automated teaching tools because it is powered by generative AI. This robot can also meet personalized learning needs and is equipped with wheels for increased mobility.
