In China, AI-powered learning devices that can scan homework, check answers, and provide explanations are becoming increasingly popular among students during their summer break. These devices, which can cost up to $1,800, have found favor with education-focused parents despite their high price tags. This trend follows recent government restrictions on cram schools, prompting families to seek alternative educational support.

The rise of these AI tutors reflects a shift in how Chinese students pursue academic assistance, leveraging technology to supplement learning outside of traditional institutions.
