South Africa has launched its first AI teaching robot, IRIS, designed to help learners from Grade R to tertiary level and support teachers in classrooms across the country. The robot is multilingual, able to teach in 11 of South Africa's official languages, and aims to close gaps in Maths, Science, and Technology education. Joining us today is Dr Thandoh Gumede, founder of BSG Technologies and the innovator behind IRIS, to discuss how this breakthrough was developed and what it means for education nationwide.
