    Hello Legion Gamers!

    This week we looked at how games can be used in education, both leisurely with recreational gaming and more formally in schools. But we humans are not the only recipients of teaching through games: they may also be used to teach AIs.

    Of course, it is more common for AIs to be taught using social media platforms or digital art, but chances are games may more and more join the fray. After all, games already use advanced AIs for all sorts of things, and it may be possible to make it so one stationary AI system is responsible for managing many different games at once and learning from them, the way people interact in gaming spaces such as WoW or the nuances of RPG or tactical thinking.

    So a question can be asked: what and how would gaming with us teach the AI?

    AI can be used to create new study strategies based on the student's condition. It can also be used to create medium, difficult or easy exams and give different ideas and different types to improve education.

    @JokerZida Would that mean that the human element can be removed from the examination completely? As in, in the future, exams will be done by AI with no human meddling? On the one hand, it would ensure impartiality and fairness, but on the other, AI may lack flexibility in appreciating non-standard solutions. And it could be a target for a hack attack...

    I don't mean to exclude the human element, what I mean is that artificial intelligence may help humans in this process, and the exam must be reviewed before submitting it.
    Whatever happens, artificial intelligence is still just a human-made computer, so it is not complete.

    @JokerZida This hits a bit close to home for me, for a time my job was to grade exams, and it was always such a long and exhausting process. I wish AI could be used to help that.

    But here is the thing: the process is easier and faster in developed countries, but slow and manual in developing ones. But those are the countries that need help the most. Hopefully, with time AI will become so accessible that it will be able to be used anywhere in the world to help education.
