AI Robot Sally Enters Salamanca Schools | Rochester News

from Rochester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Salamanca City Central School District is making waves by introducing an AI-powered humanoid robot named Sally into classrooms this fall, sparking national debate about tech in education. Priced at $57,590 — a discounted rate — the robot, developed by Realbotix, is designed to support, not replace, teachers and students in AI and robotics classes. Set against the backdrop of Salamanca being the only U.S. city entirely on a Native American reservation, the move adds cultural and socioeconomic complexity. While some parents worry it could clash with community values amid existing challenges, others see it as a bold step forward. As the school year approaches, tensions rise — and the conversation is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
