"Federal authorities also have not provided details about the investigation. But one source with knowledge of the matter told The Times that the probe revolved around AllHere, whose founder was charged with fraud in 2024. Along with Carvalho's San Pedro home and office at LAUSD headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, the FBI provided an address in Florida that was searched Wednesday morning."
"The Los Angeles Board of Education is scheduled to meet behind closed doors Thursday afternoon, a day after federal authorities raided the home and office of Superintendent Alberto Carvalho in what appears to be a probe related to AllHere, a now-defunct company that developed a failed AI chatbot for the district."
"The chatbot was disconnected within months of its 2024 release after the company failed to deliver the project. Law enforcement sources, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, told The Times that the federal investigation specifically involves Carvalho, who has served as LAUSD superintendent since February 2022."
