Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigned after an AI chatbot rollout collapsed and an FBI investigation continued into how the initiative handled student data. Carvalho’s resignation letter said the district must stay focused on learning and avoid distractions, but did not detail the specific issues. Reports tied the federal probe to Carvalho’s interaction with subcontractor AllHere, the company behind a $6 million initiative to build a custom district AI tool and a superintendent chatbot nicknamed “Ed.” The project unraveled after AllHere furloughed most employees and its CEO left, and a whistleblower raised concerns about sensitive student data handling. The departure follows Carvalho’s public push for ambitious innovations and an FBI raid on his home and office earlier this year. Leadership experts said the case is a warning for other districts deploying rapidly evolving technology without stable governance and oversight.
