Y9 AI Summary

Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of the tools we use to create, research, communicate and solve problems. Understanding how it works helps you use it more effectively, recognise its limitations and make responsible decisions about when and how it should be used.

In this topic, you explored four key areas:

AI Art Generation

You experimented with using prompts to generate images and saw how the details in a prompt can influence the result.

How AI Works

You learnt that machine-learning systems find patterns in examples and use those patterns to make predictions. You also explored how Large Language Models generate text by predicting what is likely to come next.

Prompt Engineering

You practised giving AI clearer directions by including:

• a clear task

• relevant context

• the required response format

• important rules or limits

Ethical Use of AI

You learnt that the amount of AI support allowed depends on the purpose of the task:

• Red Light: no AI use

• Amber Light: limited AI support

• Green Light: approved AI use

You also investigated issues connected with environmental impact, copyright, originality, ownership, bias and discrimination.
