Mattel to release AI-integrated Pictionary

Mattel is releasing its first artificial intelligence-integrated board game, Pictionary vs. AI, which is a play on the classic version that allows AI to guess what players draw.

Board game giant Mattel is rolling out a new version of Pictionary that involves artificial intelligence participation.

The company on Tuesday announced Pictionary Vs. AI, which is its first board game to integrate AI in a twist on the classic that involves using a mobile device.

Just like the original Pictionary, Pictionary Vs. AI involves players quickly drawing a picture based on a word pulled from a deck of clue cards. However, rather than players guessing each others' drawings, the new version allows AI to guess and players try to predict whether the technology will get it right.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

The way it works is that players use a cell phone or other mobile device to scan a QR code to launch the AI, which then guides everyone through the game. After all players have sketched their drawings, players make guesses on each sketch as to whether AI will be able to guess the drawing accurately. Then, every player shows their sketches to the AI to see if the technology is correct.

Players can earn points both if the AI correctly guesses what their sketch represents, and for each time they are right about whether the AI would accurately guess a player's drawing.
