India’s first AI teacher, Iris, launched in Kerala

India’s first AI teacher will push the boundaries of ‘what’s possible’ in the field of education.

Kerala, known for its strides in education, has taken yet another daring step by introducing India’s first-ever AI teacher, Iris.

Launched at KTCT Higher Secondary School in Thiruvananthapuram, Iris is a humanoid designed to enhance the learning experience for students. Developed in collaboration with Makerlabs Edutech Private Limited, is “poised to redefine the learing landscape” of India.

“With IRIS, we’ve set out to revolutionise education by harnessing the power of AI to create a truly personalised learning experience. By adapting to each student’s needs and preferences, IRIS empowers educators to deliver engaging and effective lessons like never before,” the company wrote.

Iris’s grand unveiling was displayed for everyone to see on social media:

In the clip, one can see the robot being unveiled on stage, and can also see it interacting with children inside a classroom. A text insert on the video informs viewers that the AI teacher has become the ‘closest pals’ of students at the school.

According to a DNA report, Iris can move, interact and answer the students’ questions, and can teach subjects from nursery to Class 12. It currently speaks in three languages – English, Hindi and Malayalam – and the developers are planning to expand this to over 20 languages. Additionally, Iris also has the ability to block inappropriate content like drugs and violence.
