According to Rest of World on October 15, South Korea attempted to transform its education system through AI-powered textbooks, but the project was halted just four months after implementation. On August 4, the South Korean National Assembly passed an amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, removing AI digital textbooks from the official textbook system and downgrading them to teaching reference materials. This move has prompted adjustments across the entire AI textbook industry chain, affecting investments exceeding 800 billion won and leading to job changes for thousands of personnel, highlighting the complex challenges of integrating AI into education.
