Introductory AI Games

The purpose of this section is to expose students to the 3 domains of AI (Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision and Data for AI). Students will go through three AI games in the form of a challenge. They have to finish all the three challenges within an hour.

Game #1 - Computer Vision

Emoji Scavenger Hunt: A game based on Computer Vision where the machine initiates the game by showing an emoji. The participant is expected to show a similar object in-front of the camera while the machine keeps on guessing what is being shown to it


Ask students to try new things like drawing the emoji on paper and showing it to the machine.

Game #2 - Data for AI

Rock, Paper & Scissors: A game based on Data for AI where the machine tries to predict the next move of the participant. It is a replica of basic rock, paper and scissors game where the machine tries to win ahead by learning from the participant’s previous moves


Ask the students to see how does the machine react if they

  1. Make moves in a specific pattern
  2. Make moves randomly.


Game #3 - Natural Language Processing

Mystery Animal: A game based on Natural Language Processing where the participant has to guess the animal by asking maximum 20 questions to AI. The animal randomly gets selected for each game by AI and the machine replies in either yes or no.

Ask students to figure out basic characteristics of the animal by asking questions like “Can you swim?”, “Are you a carnivore?”, “Are you a mammal”, etc.
