Towards developing future-ready skills with generative AI

Google Research · 3 months ago

Google released Vantage, a research experiment using generative AI to assess future-ready skills like critical thinking and collaboration through simulated conversations with AI avatars. In validation studies with 188 testers ages 18-25, the AI Evaluator's scores matched human expert raters with similar agreement levels, and in a separate study of 180 students' creative work, the system showed high correlation with OpenMic's internal experts. The approach aims to make traditionally hard-to-measure human competencies assessable at scale for integration into classroom curricula alongside subject knowledge.
