Algorithms
A step-by-step set of instructions for completing a task is called this.
algorithm
Finding and fixing errors in computer code is called this.
debugging

Why would the instruction "walk over there" be difficult for a computer or robot to follow?
TRUE or FALSE: A computer will automatically understand what a programmer meant even if the instructions are incorrect.
FALSE
An app asks for your location even though its main purpose doesn't require location. What digital-ethics issue should you consider?
Privacy/Data Collection
When Google Maps calculates the fastest route to school, what is the computer essentially trying to solve?
Using efficiency
You must delete ONE forever:
Wi-Fi OR Bluetooth
Which technology would cause the BIGGER disruption to everyday internet access?
WI-Fi
Your algorithm says:
What's wrong?

REPEAT 10 TIMES:
Move character forward 1 space.
How many spaces will the character move?
10
Someone posts a photograph online. Does finding it through Google automatically mean you're allowed to claim the photograph as your own work?

A robot is told:
"Put the peanut butter on the bread."
It places the unopened peanut butter jar on top of the loaf.
Did the robot fail to follow the algorithm?
No, the instructions weren't specific enough.
You give the SAME program the SAME input five times, but unexpectedly receive different results. What should a programmer investigate?
A bug/error in the program
or
creating a loop.

An AI hiring system consistently recommends one group of applicants more than equally qualified applicants from another group. What major AI ethics issue could this indicate?
Algorthmic Bias.
What do our apps use to make recommendations they know we like? (not algorithm)
Our Data
(history, behavior, searches)
You discover an AI system that can complete every homework assignment perfectly.
Your teacher has NOT prohibited AI.
You submit the AI's answers without reading them.
Did you cheat?
Who's team's argument was the best?
A robot must move forward repeatedly until it reaches a wall. What programming concept could prevent you from writing "move forward" 100 separate times?
Creating a loop/repetition code.

A self-driving delivery robot is programmed by Company A, manufactured by Company B, owned by Company C, and supervised by a human employee.
The robot makes a bad decision and damages someone's property.
Who should be responsible: the programmer, manufacturer, company using it, human supervisor, or some combination?
Who's argument was better?
