El Salvador — the first country to adopt bitcoin as legal tender — has teamed up with Elon Musk’s xAI to roll out what officials are calling the world’s first national AI-powered public education system. Under a Thursday announcement, the Salvadoran government will deploy xAI’s Grok chatbot across more than 5,000 public schools over the next two years. The initiative is slated to support over 1 million students and thousands of teachers by serving as a digital tutor that personalizes lessons to each student’s pace and skill level while aligning with the national curriculum. xAI says the system is designed to deliver consistent instruction across both urban and rural classrooms. Beyond classroom tutoring, the partnership will co-develop new AI datasets, frameworks and methods specifically for educational environments, with an emphasis on local context, safety, and human-centered impact. “By co-developing this system with El Salvador, we’ll generate new methodologies, datasets, and frameworks to guide responsible AI use in classrooms globally,” xAI’s release said. President Nayib Bukele framed the move as another example of El Salvador’s tech-forward strategy — the same administration recently increased the country’s bitcoin holdings to 7,500 BTC. “El Salvador is pioneering AI-driven education,” Bukele said. Elon Musk added: “El Salvador isn’t waiting for the future of education, they’re building it with xAI.” For the crypto community, the deal underscores El Salvador’s broader push to marry digital-asset adoption with high-profile tech initiatives, positioning the country as an experimental hub for both blockchain and AI-driven public services.
