San salvador: US-based artificial intelligence firm xAI announced a partnership Thursday with the government of El Salvador to launch the world's first nationwide AI-powered education program.

According to Anadolu Agency, xAI stated that its Grok model will be deployed to more than 5,000 public schools to provide adaptive, curriculum-aligned tutoring for over 1 million students and support thousands of teachers under the two-year initiative. The company emphasized that the program aims to tailor learning to each student's pace and needs while helping develop frameworks for the responsible use of AI in classrooms globally.

President Nayib Bukele expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, saying, 'El Salvador doesn't just wait for the future to happen; we build it.' He described the project as an example of the country's bid to 'leapfrog' through innovation.

Elon Musk, founder of xAI, highlighted the significance of the partnership, noting that it would place 'the most advanced AI directly in the hands of an entire generation' as the country integrates Grok into its public education system.
