In Dalian, China, AI-powered educational devices that can scan homework sheets, check answers, and provide explanations are increasingly popular among parents. Despite the devices' high costs, which can reach up to $1,800, education-focused families are adopting them as alternatives after recent government restrictions on cram schools. These AI tutors offer automated support to students during their summer break, reflecting a shift in how Chinese children engage with learning technology.
