‘Deepfake’ teacher avatar plan to help pupils catch up: Points of View

from Teachers Talk Radio · host Teachers Talk Radio

Schoolsweek reports that teachers will use “deepfake” technology to create an AI avatar of themselves to deliver catch-up lessons for pupils who have missed school. Staff at the Great Schools Trust will create the avatars – which look and sound just like them – using an AI video generator. They will be used to set out content children have missed, for instance after being absent or suspended. Our panel discusses! Panel: Tom Rogers, Yasmin Omar, Carl Smith, Lucy Trimnell.
