In China, AI-powered educational devices that can scan homework, check answers, and provide explanations are increasingly popular among parents during the summer break. These devices, which can cost up to $1,800, have found favor despite their hefty price tags. The surge in demand comes after government restrictions on cram schools, prompting families to seek alternative learning support for their children.

The trend was observed in Dalian, China, where such AI tutors are helping students continue their studies independently. The devices represent a shift in educational tools as families adapt to new regulations affecting traditional tutoring services.
