Description Program Srvc AccomAt the beginning of 2025, we decided to remove access to UME online and on mobile devices. We care about the privacy and security of all users. AI development today has not built up the walls and platforms we feel confident to share with the general public. Since March 2025, we have shifted focus away from AI chatbots and instead recognized the impact of AI on education. We began collaborating with the Statistics Department at UCLA, Partners in School Innovation, and have done in depth reviews of other AI led teacher programs. In Q4 2025, we began developing an AI led teacher program for us to conduct an intervention at a charter school in Pasadena January 12-26, 2026. We are hopeful this intervention will prove successful such that we can present the findings to Anthropic, the most reliable and safest AI company in the world. Our goal is to bring personalized mastery learning to all via AI led teacher programs. It gives us great hope for all youth to find the road to upward mobility.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
