While class must move on to the next unit or subject in a traditional classroom setting when one student still isn&#8217;t ready, edYOU can help them until they understand it.<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/screenshot-2025-08-13-115031.png#.png\" alt=\"screenshot-2025-08-13-115031.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  Students at Sierra Canyon School use an AI tool, edYOU, to receive personalized assistance in their schoolwork.<\/p>\n<p>As with all AI usage in the rapidly changing world today, its use can be controversial. A recently released\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.uci.edu\/2025\/08\/04\/uc-irvine-study-reveals-californians-mixed-views-on-ais-impact-on-youth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">study from UC Irvine<\/a> found that 30% of parents of school-aged children believe the use of AI tools in K-12 education is harmful to students. Just 24% said it&#8217;s more beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>Many of those who were concerned were worried that AI could spread misinformation or could reduce critical thinking among developing children.<\/p>\n<p>edYOU founder Dr. Michael Everest says the personalization of his tool makes it more useful to students than competitors like Apple&#8217;s Siri or OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT. He said he understands skeptics, but wants them to keep an open mind with the progressing technology.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People were scared of the calculator,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The calculator didn&#8217;t take away math teachers. People were scared of the internet. That didn&#8217;t take away anything. This is a tool to help make your life easier.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artificial intelligence is already everywhere \u2013 search engines, driverless cars, movies and TV \u2013 and now it&#8217;s even&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":143170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,224,5337],"class_list":{"0":"post-143169","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-los-angeles","12":"tag-losangeles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115023147483188482","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
