Have you ever wondered: Who was George Washington’s best friend?
Well, according to an AI program called School AI, his best friend was… “Alexander Hamilton!”
“So it takes all of the knowledge we have of that person — their writings, the history — feeds it into an AI, and then allows students to interact with that AI,” says Will Goodman, Chief Technology Officer for Boise School District.
This is just one of several AI tools that the Boise School District encourages in the classroom. Other platforms include Khanmigo, Diffit, and Magic School.
