Facial Recognition Brings AI Education to Taiwan's Schools
Taiwan's Ministry of Education is promoting AI learning. They want to reshape the school environment to make AI an integral part of students’ lives. In New Taipei, some elementary schools are installing GIGABYTE's AI-based facial recognition solution so students can check out books without a library card. Reading has never been easier, and educators can demonstrate the benefits of AI with this evergreen “teachable moment”.
