Intelligence is the ability to learn, reason and solve problems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) means making machines do tasks that need such intelligence, by learning from data instead of following only fixed rules.
Learning outcomes
- Define intelligence and Artificial Intelligence in your own words
- Spot AI in everyday tools (search, voice, recommendations)
Activities
- AI/non-AI sort cards
- Story: a day with smart helpers
