A father in southern China used artificial intelligence (AI) to modify his home TV system and tackle his son’s TV addiction. The system requires the boy to answer academic questions every 10 minutes to continue watching.
His method has gone viral on mainland Chinese social media, with many parents asking him to share a tutorial on modifying their TV sets, Shenzhen TV reported.
The father, from Shenzhen, was not named in the report. He said that while he works as a taxi driver, his son, a junior secondary school student, spends a lot of time watching TV instead of focusing on his studies.
