"AI class" for high school students To develop future human resources February 4 6:44
It is pointed out that there is a shortage of human resources involved in AI = artificial intelligence development in Japan, but a classroom for learning about the structure and use of AI was opened in Tokyo to get high school students interested in AI development. .
This was opened by an AI development company in Tokyo on the 3rd in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, and was attended by 17 students from first to third grade high school.
Regarding AI, it has been pointed out that there is a shortage of human resources in Japan, with the number of people involved in development remaining below one-tenth of the United States.
In the classroom, students actually experienced the work called "Annotation", in which AI learned images using a personal computer.
The high school students extracted the part where the dog or cat was captured from various images, entered the dog or cat and let the AI learn one after another.
In the future, we will learn the basics of AI development, such as data collection and input, and the programs that are the basis of AI.
A high school first grader girl who participated said, "It was interesting to see that the great skills of the present day were realized by steady work, and when I actually tried it, it was fun."
Said Kan Sogabe, an AI developer who opened the classroom, said, "I often get stuck when I start with theory, and I want you to learn how to solve problems that you want to solve with AI."
