AI has the potential to transform real-world domains. But can AI actually improve outcomes in live interactions? We conducted the first large-scale intervention of a Human-AI Approach that has statistically significant positive learning gains w/ 900 tutors & 1,800 K12 students.

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Today is our first lab meeting of fall quarter! Take a look at some of the things we'll be working on today! #LaLA_Lab #UCI
