How generative AI expands curiosity and understanding with LearnLM
LearnLM 如何利用生成式 AI 拓展好奇心和理解力

Generative AI is fundamentally changing how we’re approaching learning and education, enabling powerful new ways to support educators and learners. It’s taking curiosity and understanding to the next level — and we’re just at the beginning of how it can help us reimagine learning.
生成式人工智能正在从根本上改变我们学习和教育的方式，为支持教育工作者和学习者提供了强大的新方法。它将好奇心和理解提升到了一个新的水平——而这仅仅是它如何帮助我们重新构想学习的开始。

Building a new family of models for learning
打造全新学习模型系列

Today we’re introducing LearnLM: our new family of models fine-tuned for learning, based on Gemini.

  管理认知负荷：以多种方式呈现相关且结构良好的信息
• Adapt to the learner: Dynamically adjust to goals and needs, grounding in relevant materials
  适应学习者：动态调整目标和需求，以相关材料为基础
• Stimulate curiosity: Inspire engagement to provide motivation through the learning journey
  激发好奇心：激发参与度，通过学习旅程提供动力
• Deepen metacognition: Plan, monitor and help the learner reflect on progress
  深化元认知：规划、监控并帮助学习者反思进度

Bringing LearnLM to products you already love
将 LearnLM 应用于您喜爱的产品

With LearnLM we’re enhancing learning experiences in products you already use today — like Search, YouTube and when chatting with Gemini — so they can help you deepen understanding, rather than just giving an answer. Here are a few examples:
通过 LearnLM，我们正在增强您日常使用的产品（如搜索、YouTube 和与 Gemini 聊天）中的学习体验，以便它们能够帮助您加深理解，而不仅仅是给出答案。以下是一些示例：

• In Google Search, soon you’ll be able to make sense of complex topics by tapping a button to adjust your AI Overview into the format that’s most useful for you — whether you want to simplify the language, or break it down.
  在Google 搜索中，您很快就能通过点击一个按钮来调整您的 AI 概述格式，从而理解复杂主题，无论您是想简化语言还是将其分解。
• On Android, Circle to Search can help people get unstuck on math and physics word problems directly from their phones and tablets. Later this year, you’ll be able to solve even more complex problems involving symbolic formulas, diagrams, graphs and more.
  在Android上，环形搜索可以帮助人们直接从手机和平板电脑上解决数学和物理文字题。今年晚些时候，您将能够解决更多涉及符号公式、图表、图形等复杂问题。
• When chatting with Gemini, soon you’ll be able to use Gems, custom versions of Gemini that can act as personal experts on any topic. Learning coach, one of the pre-made Gems, can support you in building knowledge by providing step-by-step study guidance, along with helpful practice activities like quizzes and games. Learning coach in Gemini will launch in the coming months, and with Gemini Advanced, you’ll be able to further customize this Gem to suit your unique learning preferences.
  与Gemini对话时，您很快就能使用Gems，这是 Gemini 的定制版本，可以充当任何主题的个人专家。学习教练是预制 Gems 之一，它可以通过提供循序渐进的学习指导以及测验和游戏等有益的练习活动来帮助您构建知识。Gemini 中的学习教练将于未来几个月推出，借助 Gemini Advanced，您可以进一步定制此 Gem 以适应您独特的学习偏好。
• On YouTube, a conversational AI tool makes it possible to figuratively “raise your hand” while watching academic videos to ask clarifying questions, get helpful explanations or take a quiz on what you’ve been learning. This even works with longer educational videos like lectures or seminars thanks to the Gemini model’s long-context capabilities. These features are already rolling out to select Android users in the U.S.
  在YouTube上，一款对话式 AI 工具使您在观看学术视频时能够虚拟地“举手”，提出澄清问题，获得有益的解释或参加关于您所学内容的测验。由于 Gemini 模型的超长上下文能力，这甚至适用于较长的教育视频，例如讲座或研讨会。这些功能目前正在向美国部分 Android 用户推出。

Applying LearnLM to build generative AI experiences for schools
将 LearnLM 应用于为学校构建生成式 AI 体验

We’ll also apply LearnLM to inform and enable the generative AI experiences that we build for schools. Through a new pilot program in Google Classroom, we’re working directly with educators to see how we can help simplify and improve the process of lesson planning — a critical, but time-consuming component of teaching. These features will help teachers discover new ideas and unique activities, find engaging materials, and differentiate their lessons and content to meet each of their students where they are. No technology can ever replace the magic of a teacher, but when applied in deliberate and thoughtful ways, AI can help to augment their capacity — giving them time back to invest in themselves and their students.
我们还将应用 LearnLM 来告知和支持我们为学校构建的生成式 AI 体验。通过 Google Classroom 中的一个新的试点项目，我们正在直接与教育工作者合作，了解我们如何帮助简化和改进课程计划流程——这是教学中一个至关重要但又耗时的组成部分。这些功能将帮助教师发现新的想法和独特的活动，找到引人入胜的材料，并使他们的课程和内容多样化，以满足每个学生的学习需求。任何技术都无法取代教师的魅力，但如果以审慎和周到的方式应用，人工智能可以帮助增强他们的能力——让他们有更多时间投入到自身和学生身上。

Introducing two new experimental tools to advance learning
推出两款新的实验工具，以促进学习

Beyond LearnLM and our existing products, we’re also building entirely new tools and experiences that expand learning:
除了 LearnLM 和我们现有的产品之外，我们还在构建全新的工具和体验来扩展学习：

• Illuminate is a new experiment that breaks down research papers into short audio conversations. In minutes, it can generate audio with two AI-generated voices in conversation, providing an overview of key insights from these complex papers. And soon, you’ll be able to ask follow-up questions. Visit Labs.google to check out a library of available audio conversations and join the waitlist to generate your own.
  Illuminate 是一个新的实验，它将研究论文分解成简短的音频对话。几分钟内，它就可以生成由两个 AI 生成的语音进行对话的音频，提供这些复杂论文关键见解的概述。很快，您就可以提出后续问题了。访问 Labs.google查看可用的音频对话库，并加入候补名单以生成您自己的对话。

• Learn About is a new Labs experience that explores how information can turn into understanding by bringing together high-quality content, learning science and chat experiences. Ask a question and it helps guide you through any topic at your own pace — through pictures, videos, webpages and activities — and you can upload files or notes and ask clarifying questions along the way. Sign up to be an early tester.
  Learn About 是一款新的 Labs 体验，它通过整合高质量内容、学习科学和聊天体验来探索信息如何转化为理解。提出一个问题，它将帮助您以自己的节奏浏览任何主题——通过图片、视频、网页和活动——您可以上传文件或笔记，并在过程中提出澄清问题。注册成为早期测试者。

With any emerging technology, there are still risks and new questions that will arise as AI advances and its uses evolve. To us, building AI responsibly means both addressing the risks and maximizing the benefits for people and society. Reimagining learning and education with AI will require collective effort. We’ve collaborated with MIT RAISE to develop an online course to help educators better understand and use generative AI in the classroom. And as we work to extend LearnLM beyond our own products, we will partner with experts at institutions like Columbia Teachers College, Arizona State University, NYU Tisch and Khan Academy to test and improve this technology. We want to build for you and with you, so please let us know if you’re interested in working together to help define educational benchmarks, improve academic capabilities and ultimately explore the possibilities when it comes to applying advances in generative AI to teaching and learning. These possibilities — much like our curiosity — are endless.
对于任何新兴技术，随着人工智能的进步及其用途的演变，仍然存在风险和新的问题。对我们来说，负责任地构建人工智能意味着既要应对风险，又要将利益最大化，造福于人和社会。用人工智能重新构想学习和教育需要集体努力。我们已与麻省理工学院 RAISE 合作开发一门在线课程，以帮助教育工作者更好地理解和在课堂上使用生成式人工智能。在我们努力将 LearnLM 扩展到我们自己的产品之外时，我们将与哥伦比亚教师学院、亚利桑那州立大学、纽约大学蒂施艺术学院和可汗学院等机构的专家合作，测试和改进这项技术。我们希望为您构建，并与您一起构建，因此如果您有兴趣一起合作，帮助定义教育基准，提高学术能力，并最终探索将生成式人工智能的进步应用于教学和学习的可能性，请告知我们。这些可能性——就像我们的好奇心一样——是无限的。
