A school district in a rural corner of upstate New York is hitting pause on plans to deploy an AI-powered, humanoid robot in the classroom. Salamanca City Central School District had purchased the female-looking robot to enhance the education of high school students studying robotics and technology fields starting this fall.

Unionized teachers also criticized the robot maker’s ties to a company that produces hyper realistic sex robots.
