Hawaii Public Schools Pilot AI Project! Students Create Chatbots to Solve Campus Challenges

Hawaii public schools recently piloted an artificial intelligence project, the results of which left a deep impression on education leaders and even moved them. Six teams of 80 students from elementary, middle, and high schools across the islands were tasked with identifying challenges faced by their peers and creating an AI program or "chatbot" to help find solutions. The project was co-created by Ian Kitajima, president of the Pacific International Center for High Technology Research. Hawaii Public Radio (HPR) interviewed Kitajima to learn more.
