我们最新的AI探索:绘制人类大脑图谱

内容来源:https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/education/ai-quests-polar-peaks/

内容总结:

谷歌研究部门与斯坦福学习加速器近日联合推出AI Quests系列第三项学习任务“极地峰值”,面向11至14岁学生,通过沉浸式体验教授人工智能原理及负责任使用AI的方法。该系列此前已推出洪水预测和眼病检测两项任务,累计完成逾40万次,支持10种语言。新任务引导学生扮演谷歌研究人员,模拟扫描和绘制大脑神经元图谱,以理解游戏角色的记忆丧失问题,并完成数据清洗、模型测试等任务,亲身感受AI应用需要人工监督与批判性思维。该任务灵感源自谷歌十余年的连接组学研究,包括近期完成的有史以来神经元数量最多的完整果蝇大脑图谱绘制。配合新任务上线,谷歌同步推出教师培训模块,帮助教育工作者将AI素养教育融入课堂教学,相关模块将纳入谷歌AI教育者系列,前两项任务的培训模块已上线,第三项将于下月发布。AI Quests此前已获得2026年威比奖AI教育、学习与培训类奖项,以及ETIH创新奖最佳全球K-12学习解决方案。谷歌表示将继续与教育工作者和合作伙伴合作,在本学年将更多任务推广至更多课堂。

我们的最新AI探索之旅:绘制人类大脑图谱

今天,我们正式推出“极地巅峰”,这是AI探索系列中的第三个探索项目,由谷歌研究院和斯坦福学习加速器共同打造,旨在教学生了解AI的运作方式以及如何负责任地使用它。AI探索系列邀请11至14岁的学生化身谷歌研究员,去应对人类面临的一些最重大挑战。

迄今为止,已有超过40万个探索任务被完成,内容已本地化为10种语言。除了新上线的探索项目,我们还同步推出了面向教师的培训模块。

极地巅峰:一段绘制人类大脑图谱的旅程

在前两个探索项目中,学生们分别应对洪水预测和眼病检测的挑战,灵感分别来自谷歌研究院的洪水预测计划和中国糖尿病视网膜病变筛查AI模型。我们最新的探索项目“极地巅峰”带领学生前往神经科学的前沿,了解AI如何加速科学研究。

在游戏内导师的引导下,学生们扫描并绘制大脑中的神经元,以更好地理解游戏角色的记忆丧失问题。他们完成数据清洗和模型测试等任务,亲身了解到AI需要人类细致的监督和批判性思维。

该探索项目的灵感来源于我们十多年来在连接组学领域的研究——这门科学专注于绘制大脑中的神经网络图谱。完成探索任务后,学生们将聆听到两位研究人员讲述我们真实世界突破背后的故事,其中包括近期完成的完整果蝇大脑图谱绘制——这是迄今为止按神经元数量计算最大的大脑图谱。

培训模块:培养AI素养的教学工具

教师在将探索项目带入课堂并融入现有课程方面发挥着关键作用。我们正在推出全新的专属教师培训模块,帮助教育工作者强化关键AI素养概念,并利用AI探索系列进行学习和讨论。这些模块将在“谷歌AI教育者系列”中上线。探索项目#1和#2的模块可在此处获取。探索项目#3的培训模块将于下月推出。

今年早些时候,AI探索系列荣获了2026年威比奖“AI教育、学习与培训”类别奖项,以及ETIH创新奖“最佳全球K-12学习解决方案”。本学年,我们将继续与教育工作者和合作伙伴携手,将更多探索项目带入更多课堂。

Our newest AI Quest: Mapping the human brain
Today, we’re launching “Polar Peaks”, our third quest in the AI Quests series, created by Google Research and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning to teach students how AI works and how to use it responsibly. AI Quests invites students ages 11 to 14 to step into the shoes of Google researchers to tackle some of humanity’s biggest challenges.
More than 400,000 quests have been completed to date, localized to 10 languages. Alongside the new quest, we’re also releasing training modules for teachers.
Polar Peaks: A journey to map the human brain
In the first two quests, students tackle flood forecasting and eye disease detection, inspired by Google Research’s Flood Forecasting initiative and AI model for diabetic retinopathy screening. Our newest quest, “Polar Peaks,” has students travel to the frontiers of neuroscience and see how AI can speed up scientific research.
With the guidance of in-game mentors, students scan and map the neurons in the brain to better understand the game character’s memory loss. They complete tasks like data cleaning and model testing, learning firsthand that AI requires careful human oversight and critical thinking.
The quest is inspired by over a decade of our research in connectomics: the science of mapping neural networks in the brain. Upon completion of the quest, students hear from two researchers behind our real-world breakthroughs, including the recent mapping of the complete fruit fly brain, the largest brain map by number of neurons to date.
Training modules: Tools for teaching AI literacy
Teachers play a critical role in bringing the quests to life and fitting them into their existing classroom curriculum. We’re rolling out new dedicated teacher training modules to help educators reinforce key AI literacy concepts and use AI Quests for learning and discussion. These are launching within the Google AI Educator Series. The modules for Quest #1 and #2 are accessible here. The training module for Quest #3 will follow next month.
Earlier this year, AI Quests won a 2026 Webby Award for AI Education, Learning & Training, and Best Global K–12 Learning Solution at the ETIH Innovation Awards. We’ll continue working with educators and partners to bring more quests to more classrooms this school year.
