Introduction to Using AI
Welcome back! “Artificial Intelligence” is a term we hear a lot in conversation—whether in the news, in school, or on the internet. While it may seem like a mystery, that’s probably just because you might be unfamiliar with the concept. Artificial intelligence (AI) simply covers a range of techniques in computer science which make our computer systems appear to act with their own intelligence, on their own. We call this sentient behavior. We can relate the tasks that AI can do to things that we can do (often times way better) with our own human intelligence.
Tasks like classification and prediction when identifying objects, writing messages, or playing games can be imitated by AI. We’ll explore those and more, using some AI applications written by our friends at Google.

Discussion
We’ll move into smaller groups via breakout rooms in Zoom.
Use the following questions to discuss what you find with your fellow workshop members:
- Do you think the AI did a good job? 👍 / 👎
- Why do you think the AI did (or did not) work well?
- How do you think the AI is working to solve this task? 🤔
- What types of things were particularly hard or easy for the AI?
- Do you think each AI experiment “learned” the same way with the same training material? Why or why not?
