What is AI?
A short lesson preparing students to watch a video about AI.
Step 1: Read this simplified summary of the video.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is when computers can do things that usually only people can do. This includes things like understanding pictures, making choices, and talking. To do this, the computers need to know a lot and have experience. They can learn this by being told what to do step by step or by learning from large amounts of example information. AI is used in many things we do every day like suggesting movies or music we might like. It can understand what we say and change it into writing or another language. AI can even help doctors find out if someone is sick. AI is becoming more and more important and can help us with things we do at home and at work.
