This article reads like a product endorsement for an AI tutor called Amira (by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). It may well be; the article doesn't say one way or another. Amira "listens to children read and provides micro-interventions at the phonetic level just like a real reading interventionist in real time, one by one, for every child simultaneously." I'm not sure pronouncing words correctly constitutes 'literacy' but the main point here is that if and when AI tutor tools produce results, they will be used. That's the future of learning technology we should bank on. It's a pretty easy prediction.
