Operated by a machine.
What is ImageNet?
A database of over 14 million labeled images used to advance computer vision and deep learning
What is the main difference between AR and VR?

In what year does The Fun They Had take place?
2157
What is a supporting detail?
A fact, example, or statistic that explains or supports the central idea (Context Clues).
What does simulation mean?
The AR headset allowed visitors to see a simulation of what Mount Vernon looked like in the past.
A recreation or imitation of something real.
What nonprofit did Fei-Fei Li co-found to increase diversity in artificial intelligence?
AI-4-ALL
How can AR help people shop?
It lets customers virtually try on clothes or glasses using a selfie and an app.
What type of teacher teaches children in the story?
A mechanical teacher that delivers lessons and tests at home
Why is the statement 'Fei-Fei Li worked in a dry-cleaning shop' a supporting detail rather than the central idea of her biography?
It describes one part of her background but does not capture her overall achievements and human-centered approach to AI.

How is AR used at historical sites such as Mount Vernon?
AR headsets display historical simulations over the real environment.

To entertain while exploring the social benefits of traditional schooling compared with isolated, technology-based learning
When reading an article, why is it important to annotate or “talk to the text”?
