AI makes this based on patterns it has learned

A prediction

100

The data used to teach an AI model

Training data

This streaming app uses AI to recommend your next show

Netflix (or any streaming/video service or app)

When AI produces unfair results because of flawed training data, this is called...

Bias

100

The Code.org tool used in Lesson 5 to build your project

Sprite Lab

200

The process of teaching an AI by showing it examples

Training

200

In AI, these are the input columns used to make a prediction

Features

200

AI uses your past likes and watch time to do this on social media

Recommend content / fill your feed

If AI Bot only learned from data about adults, it would struggle to make good predictions for this group

Kids / children

200

In Sprite Lab, these are the characters or objects you program

Sprites

300

This is what AI looks for in data to make decisions

Patterns

What AI Bot did with the snack data in Lesson 3

Found patterns to pick a snack

300

This type of AI can generate text and answer questions, like a chatbot

Generative AI / Large Language Model

300

"Garbage in, garbage out" means this about training data

Bad data leads to bad predictions

300

This programming concept lets a sprite do different things depending on conditions

Conditionals / if-else

400

A prediction AI makes about a new item based on similar past items

Classification

400

If you show AI Bot only 3 examples, this is likely to suffer

Accuracy

400

Spam filters use AI to do this to your emails

Sort / classify them as spam or not

In your project, your sprite made a "decision" — what does it base that decision on?

Rules / conditions you programmed

500

This term describes an AI that learns from data rather than being programmed with exact rules

Machine Learning

500

The reason AI holds back some data during training to test itself

To check how well it learned (testing)

500

Name two industries where AI is actively used to make important decisions

Any 2 of: healthcare, banking, hiring, criminal justice, transportation, etc.

500

Name one way to reduce bias in an AI model

Use more diverse / representative training data

500

What's the connection between your Sprite Lab project and how real AI works?

Both use conditions/patterns to make decisions based on input
