Abstract

An AI engine is disclosed that is configured to work with a graphical user interface (“GUI”) including, in some embodiments, one or more AI-engine modules and a visual debugging module of the GUI. A learner AI-engine module is configured to train one or more AI models on one or more concepts of a mental model defined in a pedagogical programming language. An instructor AI-engine module is configured to coordinate with one or more simulators for respectively training the one or more AI models on the mental model. The visual debugging module is configured to provide a visualization window for each AI model while the one or more AI models are at least training with the learner module respectively in the one or more simulators. A viewer can glean insight and explainability into the training of the AI models while the simulations are running and arriving at various states.
