Google has announced that a mobile learning app called ‘Socratic’ that it acquired last year, now uses AI to help high school and university students when they’re doing schoolwork outside the classroom. “It guides them through the resources that are available, and identifies the core underlying concepts that will lead them to answers to their questions”, the company said on its official blog.
Google claims that the new features are the result of its latest AI-based algorithms that can now look at a student’s question and automatically identify the relevant underlying concepts. “From there, we can find the videos, concept explanations, and online resources to help them work through their questions”, the company said.
