In this lesson, students begin by brainstorming examples of artificial intelligence (AI) they encounter in daily life, such as recommendation systems, voice assistants, and smart devices. Using a collaborative mind map, they will organize these examples into categories like apps, games, and home technology. Next, students will participate in an AI/ML sorting activity to clarify the distinction between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (ML). Through discussion and reflection, they will start to understand that AI is the broader concept of machines acting intelligently, while ML is a key method for achieving this through data-driven learning. This lesson sets the foundation for deeper exploration by connecting abstract concepts to familiar experiences.
