Sally the Robot in School | Roanoke News
Description
A New York school district is pausing its $60K plan to bring AI robot Sally into classrooms after backlash over its maker’s ties to sex doll company Realbotix. Teachers and unions fear the robot could replace human educators, while the superintendent insists it’s a supplemental tool using existing curriculum and strict privacy safeguards. State officials demand stronger data protections, and the company denies any link to adult products. The pilot is on hold as the district weighs community concerns and ethical questions about AI in education.
