I'd be pretty surprised if ambassadors of AI technologies would send their kids there themselves. Usually you hear the opposite about bosses of tech giants. And the concern the author of the article had - that her neurodivergent daughter could benefit from that more than from traditional learning environment - leaves me even less inspired, for the failing of the latter is generally in the lack of teachers, 1-on-1 personal work with a student, while this "personalized" approach removes teachers even further.
