New Mexico Schools Reassess AI Reading Tool | Santa Fe News

New Mexico schools are stepping back from an AI reading tool called Amira after privacy and accuracy concerns sparked by parents and teachers. The state now lets districts choose paper tests, their own assessments, or Amira without voice recording — a move already adopted by four districts including Santa Fe and Los Alamos. Critics worry the AI struggles with accents and speech impediments, while the company insists recordings are only used to improve the tutor and store minimal data securely in the U.S. The state still pushes for a unified assessment to ensure fairness, but the debate underscores the tension between tech innovation and protecting student privacy.
