Teachers at Euan Blair's Multiverse report 'horrendous stress' over AI monitoring

Instructors at UK tech training firm Multiverse, co-founded by Euan Blair, say an AI system that scores their online lessons has caused severe stress, lost sleep and therapy. The AI analyses classroom transcripts, assigns a 'confidence score' and flags filler phrases like 'sort of' and 'kind of'.

• AI analyses online lesson transcripts and tags each instructor with a 'risk status'
• System penalises filler words, slow fixes of connection issues and long one-to-one exchanges
• Instructors were previously observed monthly by a human manager, now AI watches for hours daily
• Multiverse is valued at £1.6bn on £118m turnover and £28m losses last year
