In China, AI-powered learning devices that can scan homework, check answers, and provide explanations are becoming 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 emerges as a response to recent government restrictions on cram schools, pushing families to seek alternative educational support.

The AI learning tools are designed to assist children in understanding and solving problems independently, offering a new mode of tutoring that aligns with the evolving educational landscape in China.
