Introduction To Ai

Topic: Introduction to AI

Objectives & Outcomes

• Understand the basic concept and capabilities of AI.
• Appreciate the advantages of AI.
• Be able to give examples of applications of AI in daily life.

Materials

• Computers with internet connection (one per student)
• AI related articles or videos (one per student)

Warm-up

• Ask the students if they have heard about AI before.
• Ask them to share what they know about AI.
• Write the students' answers on the board.
• Ask the students if they can think of any applications of AI in daily life.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of AI, and explain that it is the ability of a machine to exhibit intelligent behavior.
• Demonstrate how AI technologies can be used to solve problems and make decisions in a variety of different fields, such as gaming, healthcare, and transportation.
• Explain the different types of AI, such as artificial neural networks, machine learning, and deep learning.
• Use examples to illustrate the capabilities and limitations of different types of AI.

Guided Practice

• Have students work in small groups to research and present a specific example of an AI technology in a real-world application.
• Encourage students to ask questions during the presentation and discuss the benefits and limitations of the technology.

///Analytic Practice

• Have students work in small groups to research and present a specific example of an AI technology in a fictional work of science fiction.
• Encourage students to consider the benefits, limitations, and social implications of the technology.

Independent Practice

• Have students work in small groups to develop a hypothetical application for an AI technology in a fictional work of science fiction.
• Encourage students to consider the potential benefits, limitations, and social implications of the technology.

Closure

• Review the key points of the lesson and have students share their hypothetical applications with the class.
• Ask students to reflect on the potential benefits and limitations of AI technologies and discuss any social implications they may have.

Assessment

• Observe students during the guided and independent practice activities to assess their understanding of the key concepts and their ability to apply them in developing hypothetical AI applications.
• Collect and review the hypothetical applications as a formative assessment of students' understanding of AI and their ability to apply the concepts in a real-world context.
