新机会寻求人工智能技术来帮助成年人学习国家安全所需的复杂学科，例如人工智能工程。 人们的工作方式正在发生变化；获得新技能有助于确保国家安全人员跟上现代社会不断变化的需求。世界经济论坛预测，到2025年，全球50%的工人将需要重新培训才能在市场上竞争。 美国国务院和国防部(DOD)都表示，人工智能是世界全球技术革命的中心。根据2020年国防部教育战略，“国防部人工智能的未来取决于国防部为数字时代建立和发展劳动力的能力。” 与此同时，COVID-19给工人带来了额外的挑战，加速了许多行业采用新技术和自动化，并严重影响了历史上被边缘化的人口的失业率，包括那些被认定为黑人或西班牙裔的人。 DARPA正在寻求创新AI方法的想法，这些方法可以帮助成人学习当前和未来国家安全人员所需的复杂主题。例如，人工智能工程和网络防御。 DARPA信息创新办公室成人学习人工智能工具项目经理Joshua Elliott表示：“随着技术进步和经济条件发生变化，美国劳动力和军队所需的技能也会发生变化。“除了疫情后的经济，改善历史上被边缘化的学习者接受教育和提高技能的需要比以往任何时候都更加重要。人工智能辅导可以显着提高学习成功率，尤其是在越来越普遍的远程和自主学习环境中。” DARPA邀请技术专家、研究人员、学生、教师和数字学习平台或尖端人工智能技术的创造者提出人工智能工具或技术，以解决成人学习者面临的关键挑战。成功的工具将寻求创造定制的学习体验，以改善完成中学后教育的成年人的新技能培训。 DARPA成人学习领域的领导者和行业专家将在九个月的时间里审查摘要。提交将按以下方式进行： 第一阶段：审稿人将评估高级提案摘要并选择一个子集进入第二阶段。提交摘要的截止日期为 2022年12月18日。 第二阶段：审稿人将评估技术价值的详细提案，以便进入最后阶段。 第三阶段：决赛入围者将在评审小组面前提出他们的概念，评审小组将选出获胜者。 推介活动结束后，DARPA将奖励总计75万美元的获奖作品来开发这些概念。获奖者将有机会在获奖后的一年内向行业、技术专家和慈善组织展示他们的进步和技术。 “越来越多的证据表明，辅导是一种快速有效地教授所有学习者的手段，然而，依赖成人辅导的课程成本很高，”Elliott解释说“人工智能的最新进展为基于计算机的辅导系统让路，这些系统使用人工智能根据学习者的反应实时个性化教学。这些系统有可能大大降低高质量辅导的成本，从而增加所有学习者的机会。” 有关成人学习人工智能工具的完整信息——包括如何提交摘要、资格要求、注册访问等，请访问 toolscompetition.org/DARPA。 https://www./news-events/2022-11-03 Can AI Teach AI? DARPA Explores How AI Tutoring Can Help Adult Learners New opportunity seeks AI technologies to help adults learn complex subjects required for national security, such as AI engineering The way people work is shifting; acquiring new skill sets can help ensure the national security workforce keeps up with the evolving demands of modern-day society. The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, 50% of all workers worldwide will need reskilling in order to compete in the market. The Department of State and Department of Defense (DOD) both state that artificial intelligence is at the center of the world’s global technological revolution. According to the 2020 DOD Education Strategy, “the future of AI in the DOD relies on the Department’s ability to build and develop a workforce for the digital era.” Meanwhile, COVID-19 has created additional challenges for workers, accelerating the adoption of new technologies and automation in many sectors and disproportionately impacting the unemployment rates of historically marginalized demographics, including people who identify as Black or Hispanic. DARPA is seeking ideas for innovative AI approaches that can help adults learn complex topics necessary for the current and future national security workforce (e.g., AI engineering and cyber defense). “As technology advances and economic conditions shift, so will the skills necessary for America’s workforce and our military,” said Joshua Elliott, AI Tools for Adult Learning program manager in DARPA’s Information Innovation Office. “In addition to a post-pandemic economy, the need to improve access to education and upskilling for historically marginalized learners is more important than ever. AI tutoring could dramatically improve learning success, particularly in increasingly common remote and self-directed learning environments.” DARPA invites technologists, researchers, students, teachers, and creators of digital learning platforms or cutting-edge AI techniques to propose AI tools or technologies that can address the critical challenges facing adult learners. Successful tools will seek to create customized learning experiences that improve training of new skills in adults who have completed postsecondary education. DARPA leaders and industry experts in the adult learning field will review abstracts over the course of nine months. Submissions will advance as follows: Phase One: Reviwers will evaluate high-level proposal abstracts and select a subset to proceed to phase two. The deadline to submit abstracts is December 18, 2022. Phase Two: Reviewers will evaluate detailed proposals for technical merit in order to move to the last phase. Phase Three: Finalists will pitch their concept before the panel of reviewers, who will select the winners. Following the pitch event, DARPA will award a total of $750,000 to winning submissions to develop those concepts. Those who are selected will have the opportunity to present their progress and technologies to industry, technical experts, and philanthropic organizations in the year following the awards. “There is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates the power of tutoring as a means to teach all learners quickly and effectively, and yet, programs that rely on human tutors are costly,” explained Elliott. “Recent advances in AI have made way for computer-based tutoring systems that use AI to personalize instruction in real time based on learner responses. These systems have the potential to drastically reduce the cost of high-quality tutoring, and therefore increase access for all learners.” Interested participants can register here to join an info session with Elliott on Thursday, November 10 at 1 p.m. ET.
