Adventure in Artificial Intelligence
Description:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an important part of our everyday life, whether we knowingly embrace it or not. From social media to online media platforms, AI systems are used to offer personalised experiences and simplify daily tasks, profoundly changing the way we live.
AI systems are applied to increase productivity and improve our lives, but with them also come great ethical and security questions. Even concerns related to the perception of intelligence, cognitive development and societal implications arise. For all these reasons, it is critical to improve AI literacy from a young age.
The project Adventure in AI uses a gamified approach to increase children’s AI literacy, to raise awareness and to equip educators with appropriate knowledge to address AI topics in the classroom and in other settings.
