DALIAN, China — AI-powered learning devices capable of scanning homework, checking answers, and providing explanations are increasingly popular among Chinese students during their summer break. These devices, which can cost up to $1,800, have found favor with education-focused parents despite the hefty price tag.

This trend follows recent government restrictions on cram schools, prompting families to seek alternative educational support through technology. The AI tutors offer an automated way to assist children with their studies, filling the gap left by reduced access to traditional tutoring services.
