In China, a father uses artificial intelligence to create a parental control system that pauses the TV every ten minutes and displays school assignments on the screen.
A person from the city of Shenzhen is not an "IT expert" at all; He works as a simple taxi driver, and also raises a teenage son who is a bit addicted to watching TV. While his father was on duty, his schoolboy spent hours watching television instead of doing homework. The child quickly learned to disable the built-in parental controls. It also easily bypassed the timer smart socket by simply plugging the TV's power cord directly into the mains. It was then that the man decided to seek advice from the neural network.
The AI came up with the idea for a program called Question Key and helped write the code for it. My father modified the developed system and installed it directly on the TV. Every 10 minutes the broadcast is blocked, and a task in Chinese, math or English appears on the screen. To return to viewing, you must answer the question correctly, and if you make an error, do another task. According to the father, the plan turned out to be working, the boy liked it.
