The footage, broadcast by North Korean state television KRT, also showed two other larger plastic robots, each with a vaguely humanoid appearance. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been pushing for education reform in recent years by spurring technological and scientific innovation. "Upgrading this robot's intelligence was difficult for me as someone who majored in psychology," said Park. "It was the words of our respected Comrade General Secretary (Kim Jong Un) on adopting artificial intelligence technology in education that has always guided me on the right track." The KRT footage showed primary school students wearing masks repeating after the robot in music, math and English class.
