1. In the Teachable Machine activity, what inputs were easy for the program to learn to distinguish and what inputs were more difficult?

It was easier for the program to learn how to distinguish between having one hand up and having no hands up than it was to learn how to differentiate between having the left or right hand up. It also was harder for it to differentiate between different facial expressions.

2. Search online and identify another application area for AI or machine learning besides the ones described in this lesson. Is this task hard easy for humans but hard for computers to do?

Self-driving cars use machine learning to learn what to do when thy encounter obstacles. This task is not very hard for humans to figure out, but computers need a lot of training to be able to deal with unexpected circumstances.

3. In this lesson you saw some examples of gender bias in a machine translation program. Identify another form of unconscious bias and give an example of how it could affect a computer program. Explain how that could be a harmful effect on society, economy, or culture.

Another form of unconscious bias would be racial bias, which would have negative effects on society because it would propagate untrue beliefs about certain people groups. For example, the machine could associate certain races with certain jobs.
