Coracle, an EdTech company, is collaborating with the University of Hertfordshire to develop an AI system called 'AI cellmate' for prisoners. Funded by Innovate UK, this system aims to personalize education by adapting learning materials in real-time based on individual needs, strengths, and weaknesses. Currently, Coracle provides offline educational resources in 91 prisons. The AI cellmate is designed to be a responsive digital mentor, helping address educational gaps and potentially reducing reoffending rates, laying the groundwork for broader applications outside the prison system.
"The AI cellmate will personalise its approach by recognising an individual's strengths, weaknesses and learning style. It will adapt content dynamically, monitoring user engagement and performance even without an internet connection."
"We need to use AI for good, particularly for vulnerable or underserved communities. The introduction of this AI system into prisons will reduce the technological gap between inmates and society."
