This video will get you thinking about artificial intelligence, and how to tell whether something is AI or not.
Let’s play a game to see if we can tell what uses AI… and why!
DIRECTIONS
For each example, choose which one uses AI … and why!
Base your answers on the questions below.
- Does it understand or sense things?
- Can it learn over time?
- Can it make decisions?
- Can it interact with humans?
- Can it do it on its own or is it following commands?
