Joanna Smith-Griffin, founder of AI ed tech firm AllHere, has been indicted for allegedly defrauding the LA school system and misusing funds from investors.
Prosecutors allege Smith-Griffin inflated AllHere's value to secure millions in investments while secretly diverting funds for personal expenses, including real estate and a wedding.
Despite securing a $6 million contract with Los Angeles Unified School District, AllHere only received half before filing for bankruptcy, raising questions about financial management.
The short-lived chatbot Ed, developed by AllHere for LAUSD, was meant to enhance educational tools but was taken offline shortly after its debut.
