This unit introduces students to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and algorithms. They will examine real-world AI (like chatbots and self-driving cars) to understand its core functions and societal impact. Through activities like Google Quick, Draw! and algorithm optimization tasks, students will discover how AI makes predictions and how bias can be introduced, prompting critical discussions about ethics and fairness in AI.
