Officials say the initiative aims to deliver personalized instruction at scale, though details on implementation remain limited.
El Salvador will use Grok, an artificial intelligence system linked to Elon Musk’s technology ventures, to provide personalized education to more than one million students nationwide, according to government officials.
The government of El Salvador plans to deploy Grok, an artificial intelligence platform associated with Elon Musk, to deliver personalized education to over one million students, according to officials familiar with the initiative. Authorities described the effort as a nationwide program designed to tailor learning to individual student needs.
Officials said the AI system would be integrated into public education to support personalized instruction, adaptive learning paths, and real-time feedback. The government has not yet released detailed information on timelines, costs, or how the technology will be implemented across schools.
The announcement adds to El Salvador’s broader push to position itself as an early adopter of emerging technologies. The country previously drew global attention for adopting bitcoin as legal tender, a move that sparked both praise and criticism internationally.
Supporters of the AI education initiative argue that personalized learning tools could help address gaps in educational outcomes, particularly in underserved communities. They say AI-driven systems may allow teachers to better identify student strengths and areas needing support.
Education and technology experts caution that large-scale AI deployment raises questions about data privacy, teacher training, and long-term effectiveness. Officials have not publicly detailed how student data would be handled or safeguarded.
Authorities said additional information is expected as the program develops. The initiative has not yet been independently evaluated, and its outcomes will likely be closely watched by governments and education systems worldwide.
