In China, AI-powered learning devices capable of scanning homework, checking answers, and providing explanations are increasingly popular among students during the summer break. These devices, which can cost up to $1,800, have found favor with education-focused parents despite their hefty price tags. This trend follows a government crackdown on cram schools, prompting families to seek alternative educational support.

The devices are part of a growing shift in China's education landscape, leveraging artificial intelligence to assist students independently. The development was reported from Dalian, China, with photographic documentation by Kohei Fujimura.
