What Is AI?
Which term describes technology that helps machines mimic human thinking and actions?
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
What is the name of the process where AI learns from examples?
Machine learning
What does Generative AI do that goes beyond recognition and prediction?
Creates new content (text, images, music, code)
What’s the first privacy rule when using AI tools?
Don’t share personal information
What do we call the instruction or question you give to an AI?
A prompt
Name two tasks AI can help with from everyday life (examples listed in the lesson).
Understanding language (voice assistants) and making predictions (recommendations) [any two from language, image/sound recognition, predictions, content creation]
In the lesson’s cat example, what is the first step of training?
Collecting data (thousands of cat photos)
Name one example of GenAI from the lesson.
Chatbots like ChatGPT (or AI art generators, AI music apps)
What should you always do with important facts produced by AI?
Double‑check/verify with reliable sources
Which prompt is better: “Tell me about energy” or “Summarize renewable energy in 100 words for high school students”? Why?
The second; it’s specific about length, topic focus, and audience
What do AI systems rely on to learn patterns and make predictions?
Data (large datasets)
After training, what can the AI do when it sees a new image?
Make a prediction (e.g., “This probably contains a cat”)
Why doesn’t GenAI truly “understand” the world?
It predicts from training data rather than having real‑world understanding
What does it mean to “use AI to assist, not replace”?
Let AI help brainstorm or explain, but keep your own thinking and voice central
Besides being specific, what else should you include in a prompt to improve results?
Context such as the goal or audience
Which AI capability lets a system recognize what’s in a photo or identify a sound?
Image and sound recognition
Name the step where the AI looks for similarities such as whiskers, ears, or fur.
Finding patterns (feature learning)
List two risks or limits of GenAI outputs.
Bias and factual errors/outdated information
Which concept asks you to look for unfair assumptions in AI answers?
Bias (be alert and think critically)
How should you handle complex tasks when prompting?
Break them into step‑by‑step parts
Give a concise definition of AI in your own words using the lesson’s phrasing.
Technology that allows computers/machines to think, learn, and make decisions like humans (or try to)
What drives improvement over time, and why can mistakes still happen?
More data and feedback improve accuracy; errors persist because learning is probabilistic and data can be limited or biased
You prompt “draw a robot playing guitar.” What makes the result “generative”?
It creates a completely new image from patterns learned in training data
What does “be transparent” mean in schoolwork that used AI?
Disclose how/when AI was used, following class rules
Rewrite this vague prompt to be effective: “Explain AI.”
“Explain what AI is in 120–150 words for high school students, include two everyday examples, and one caution about bias”
