Innovative AI-Powered School Model

The podcast episode discusses an innovative AI-powered school model called Two-Hour Learning that focuses on personalized early education. Instead of traditional teachers, the school uses an app-based approach with guides who provide support for learning rather than direct academic instruction. The guides teach students how to learn independently through a program called 'learn to learn'. Additionally, an AI tutor monitors students' learning progress and efficiency.
