1High school students and those who help in their education in Cyprus have developed an unusual robot.
2The robot uses ChatGPT artificial intelligence , or AI, technology.
3ChatGPT is a system developed by U.S. company OpenAI and backed by the technology company Microsoft.
4The aim of the students is to use the technology to improve learning experiences in the classroom.
5ChatGPT is an AI system that can have a discussion and create written work.
6It can create material based on what it has learned from a large database of digital books, online writings, and other media.
7The robot is named AInstein.
8Three PASCAL schools in Cyprus built AInstein.
9It is the size of a small adult.
10The robot even has a screen for a face that appears to show human facial expressions.
11It speaks a North American form of English.
12And it can tell jokes, like "Why was the maths book sad? Because it had too many problems."
13It attempts to speak Greek.
14And it even tries to talk about physicist Albert Einstein's theory of relativity in class.
15The robot does not have a favorite movie, saying it was "before his time."
16But it enjoys reading science books and spending time playing the violin, an instrument.
17Student Richard Erkhov is 16.
18He is the lead programmer of the AI brain.
19He said artificial intelligence is set to improve a lot.
20Erkhov told Reuters, "It might help in a lot of spheres of life, such as education and medicine."
21Another student, 15-year-old Vladimir Baranov, said the technology was "incredible."
22"It mimics human thinking, answers like humans, responds like humans.
23It is not yet very polished...But it is getting there," he said.
24Tutors are teachers who work with one student.
25The tutors who helped with the project said the greater purpose of AInstein is to include it in teaching.
26Tutor Elpidoforos Anastasiou is the project's leader.
27He said that students can ask it questions, it can answer back, and the robot can even help teachers teach more effectively.
28Anastasiou showed how AI can be fitted to the classroom with AInstein showing how part of Albert Einstein's theory of time relativity can be explained by talking about a moving object called a pendulum.
29Their experience with AInstein showed that AI is not anything to fear, project members said.
30The European Union is considering legislation for artificial intelligence.
31But developments in the technology are happening faster than lawmakers' efforts to control it.
32AInstein itself answers if the technology is something to be feared.
33It said, "Humans are the ones who create and control AI, and it is up to us to ensure that its development and implementation serve the betterment of humanity...we should not fear AI, but rather approach it with care and responsible consideration."
