Summary

People need an AI education - and fast, because the technology is evolving at speed.

Could a fighting game be an easy way to gamify the process of AI education? Could we use gamification to educate people in AI at every level?

The relationship between AI and education has been a tense one since they started the same spaces in the tech-powered world.

In the same way that computers, and then the internet, became too indispensable to leave out of education as a whole, so generative AI has joined the wealth of must-have technologies.

Earlier this year, the Japanese education ministry outlined the importance of education on AI in a set of guidelines for teaching students about the technology.

ArenaX Labs, the studio behind AI Arena, sought to use the advantages of gamification and competition in education to teach AI literacy through interactive play.

We spoke to CEO Brandon Da Silva and COO Wei Xie about their vision for the future of AI education.
