Artificial intelligence can help stop book speculation.

It took the Antitrust Authority to do something schools could already be thinking about, to stem the tidal wave of speculation in schoolbooks and their new editions. It works like this: with the trick of "new editions" appearing every year to replace old textbooks, families find themselves with increasingly expensive bills to pay for schoolbooks for their children and grandchildren, and the kids' backpacks continue to grow in size. The result, considering skyrocketing prices, is an average cost per student, for books alone, of €580 in middle school and €1.250 in high school.

The Antitrust Authority, denouncing this outright speculation after conducting a fact-finding investigation into the school textbook sector, has provided recommendations that families and students could implement to bypass new purchases. Using artificial intelligence, instead of purchasing the new edition and being unable to sell the old one, students (in this case accompanied by their families) can rely on artificial intelligence to update the learning content of the old textbook, without necessarily having to buy a new edition.
