‘Really inappropriate’: teachers decry plan for humanoid robot in New York high school
A humanoid robot developed by a company that acquired a sex doll manufacturer is being introduced as part of a pilot program at Salamanca High School in New York, which has a large Native American population. Teachers and local Native American residents have criticized the initiative as 'inappropriate' and 'culturally tone deaf', arguing it dehumanizes education.
