Grok will act as a digital tutor, adapting lessons to each student’s pace and skill level. The system aligns with El Salvador’s national curriculum and aims to ensure both urban and rural students receive consistent instruction, said xAI.The project will also produce new AI datasets, frameworks and methods tailored for educational settings, with a focus on local context, safety and human-centered impact, according to the announcement.
