What Cottesmore School can expect from its new AI chatbot deputy head

Pupils at the £32,000-a-year Cottesmore School in West Sussex have been welcoming their new principal head teacher, an AI chatbot named Abigail Bailey. Bailey, it has been reported, was commissioned and designed to work alongside the school’s human headmaster, Tom Rogerson, filling some of his more tedious roles. However, this seems like the start of something seismic. It is now only a matter of time before all our children will have AI teachers. When that day arrives, these are the sort of letters from school we can all expect to receive.
