A School in UK Appoints AI as Principal

As the education sector continues to use AI to its advantage, British boarding school Cottesmore has appointed an AI chatbot – named Abigail Bailey – as its new “principal headteacher”.

While appointing a robot headteacher might sound dystopian, the exclusive school claims the ChatGPT-like technology isn’t replacing current jobs, and is instead being used to support the needs of Cottesmore’s current headmaster, Tom Rogerson.

But Abigail Bailey won’t be the only chatbot joining Cottesmore’s roster of staff. The school also appointed AI-powered chatbot Jamie Trainer as its head of artificial intelligence – with both tools even adorning their own AI-generated headshots.
