El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said Thursday that his administration is partnering with Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI to bring artificial intelligence into more than 5,000 public schools.

The millennial leader, who previously made El Salvador the first nation to make bitcoin legal tender in 2021, is betting big on technology again.

In a statement Thursday, xAI said that its Grok chatbot will bring “personalized learning to over one million students” by creating tutoring “that adjusts to each student’s pace, preferences, and mastery level — ensuring every child, from urban centers to rural communities, receives world-class education tailored to their needs.”

Bukele said in the statement that El Salvador would be “pioneering AI-driven education.”

So evil, right-wing, prison-peddling Bukele is teaming up with Musk to put his batshit chatbot in El Salvadoran schools to indoctrinate the kids.

This is the second page of the official El Salvadoran announcement:



"Engineered as a maximally truth-seeking AI companion, Grok delivers insightful answers prioritizing truth and objectivity."

Bullshit. Grok will deliver whatever RW propaganda Musk and Bukele want delivered.
