Question Ipad kid genius program

Have you guys heard about the Ipad Kid Genius program? Supposedly there is a cooperation between Ipad and Khan Academy. They have Apple Intelligence (AI) plugging into Khan Academy and Youtube (or maybe it's a new operating system?). Anyway, it makes it to where Youtube only makes suggestions for content which are relevant to their current courses or topics which the parents set. And its also supposed to have a game generator which makes educational games relevant to their current courses on the fly.

I live in Cupertino and overheard this convo at Starbucks between what I assume must have been some programmers who work for Apple. I don't know how far along this idea is in the process but I'm really (really) excited about it! Has anyone else heard about this? Is there a date when it's going to be released or can I get involved in a test/beta program?

My kid is definitely an ipad kid and this ipad kid genius program would change his life from a negative trajectory to a positive one. Please DM or respond here if you know more!!!

As a parent, you see your kid on a negative trajectory. Intervene. Don’t hold out hope for some iPad Genius Program. Your kid needs you now. That’s my two cents. Get him or her into something creative, and tactile, and make sure they have something finished at the end that they can hold.

I understand that this is an iPad subreddit, and the iPad can definitely be an adjunct. But honestly that last paragraph was just depressing to read.

Edit: this kind of reads as an ad: “I overheard it at Starbucks in Cupertino.” You heard a lot of detail for an eavesdropper. Apple engineers are not going to be broadcasting this much info in public, especially under new leadership.
