In the era of rapid development of artificial intelligence, AI self-study rooms, a new education model, are gradually becoming popular in counties. The editor of Downcodes will give you an in-depth understanding of this emerging learning method, as well as the opportunities and challenges hidden behind it. AI self-study rooms provide students with personalized learning experiences through AI learning equipment and systems. However, the high price of learning machines and the reduced requirements for teacher qualifications have also triggered people to think about the nature of education.
According to CCTV, in an AI study room in a county in Jiangsu, children study under the guidance of "AI teachers" for up to 6-8 hours a day. The supervising teacher is mainly responsible for supervising the children to complete the online lessons and exercises assigned by the system. The learning progress is marked by color. Green represents good mastery, while red represents the need to continue working hard. The rise of AI self-study rooms has also lowered the threshold for supervising teachers. Many people can be qualified without a teacher qualification certificate, and their income is linked to the performance of selling learning machines.

Each AI learning machine sells for about five to six thousand yuan, and the study room uses this to charge hosting fees, forming a new business model. In order to attract students, many self-study rooms have launched "trial classes" to demonstrate children's "progress" through mock exams and stimulate parents to purchase learning machines. However, whether children can truly benefit from this education model requires parents to seriously think about what real education should look like.
The rise of AI study rooms is the product of technological development and educational changes. It provides students with new ways of learning, but it also brings some issues worthy of attention. How to better protect children's learning and growth with the empowerment of technology requires the joint efforts of the whole society.
