"It's our latest effort around AI literacy in classrooms, teaching the next generation to not only use the technology, but inspiring them with how they can use AI to make a positive impact on their world," Google wrote in a press release."
"Each quest is set in a fantasy realm, and students can receive guidance from a virtual mentor named Dr. Skye. In the first quest, modeled on Google's research project, students are challenged to track variables like rainfall and river flow, and train an AI model, to help in-game characters make more accurate flood predictions."
"Two more quests -- one focused on the detection of an eye disease and the latter based on Google's brain-mapping research -- will launch in the coming months, according to Google."
Google launched AI Quests to teach students ages 11 to 14 about practical, real-world uses of artificial intelligence through interactive online games. The program was developed by Google Research in collaboration with the Stanford Accelerator for Learning. Each quest places students in a fantasy realm with a virtual mentor, Dr. Skye, and tasks include training models to predict floods by tracking rainfall and river flow. Additional quests will cover detection of an eye disease and brain-mapping research. The initiative aims to familiarize younger audiences with AI and inspire positive, science-driven applications.
