Abstract
El uso de sistemas de inteligencia artificial en múltiples niveles de la sociedad ofrece nuevas y prósperas oportunidades, pero también introduce nuevos riesgos y cuestiones éticas que deben abordarse. Sostenemos que la introducción de contenidos de inteligencia artificial en las escuelas a través de proyectos prácticos es el camino a seguir para educar ciudadanos conscientes y críticos, para despertar vocaciones entre los jóvenes, y para fomentar las habilidades de pensamiento computacional de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las plataformas educativas de programación existentes carecen de algunas características necesarias para desarrollar proyectos completos de IA y, en consecuencia, se requieren nuevas herramientas. En este artículo presentamos LearningML, una nueva plataforma dirigida al aprendizaje automático supervisado, una de las técnicas de IA más exitosas que se encuentra en la base de casi todas las aplicaciones actuales de IA. Este trabajo describe las principales funcionalidades de la herramienta y discute algunas decisiones tomadas durante su diseño, para el que hemos tenido en cuenta las lecciones aprendidas al revisar trabajos anteriores realizados para introducir la IA en la escuela y el análisis de otras soluciones que permiten proyectos prácticos de IA. También se presentan los próximos pasos en el desarrollo de LearningML, que se centran en la validación, tanto aparente como instruccional, de la herramienta.
