Pakistan’s first AI-powered teacher introduced in Karachi school

Karachi: In a groundbreaking development for the country’s education sector, Pakistan’s first AI-powered teacher was unveiled at a Karachi school, marking a significant step toward integrating technology into classrooms.

The AI teacher, developed using advanced machine learning algorithms, is designed to assist students in various subjects, providing personalised learning experiences and instant feedback. Equipped with natural language processing capabilities, the AI teacher can interact with students in English and Urdu, making it accessible to a diverse student population.

The initiative was launched by a leading private school in collaboration with a local tech company specialising in artificial intelligence. School officials highlighted the technology’s potential to revolutionise learning, bridging educational gaps, and fostering independent thinking among students.

“The AI teacher is not here to replace human educators but to complement their efforts. It can handle repetitive tasks, provide individualised attention, and help students progress at their own pace,” said the project’s lead developer.

Students and parents have expressed excitement about the initiative, praising the school for embracing innovation. “It’s like having a personal tutor available at all times,” said one student, while a parent added, “This is the future of education, and I’m glad my child is part of it.”

As schools across Pakistan face challenges such as large class sizes and limited resources, the introduction of AI-powered teaching tools could lead to more efficient and inclusive education systems nationwide.
