NOVITA'[1754]

People welcome the teacher as a robot. They just don’t want it to say anything.”
Teachers welcome the robot as their new colleague. They clap, smile, and even call it “Professor.” Then they slap a “MUTE” sticker on its mouth. The robot tries to speak, but that’s against school policy. People want AI — just not its voice. They want performance, not presence. They want an avatar that teaches — as long as it says nothing.
