Machine Learning and AI - what every beginner needs to know

Machine Learning and AI are terms we all hear a lot about every day. They affect our lives profoundly and yet, we know so little about either. Producing this presentation in what I hope is an easy to understand form, was hugely challenging and immensely rewarding, and I hope it can benefit you and your students.

We all need at least a basic understanding of what is happening in the world of AI.

This lesson for absolute beginners looks at

• what is intelligence (easy start!!)
• what is machine learning
• how AI is related to machine learning
• the ethical concerns of bias

The lesson comprises:

• a fully animated PowerPoint with explanatory slides
• inspiring embedded videos (if you need to extract, click here)

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and a BIG BIG thanks for looking (as a full time practising teacher, I KNOW how time consuming this process can be).

ALL my postings are FULLY “classroom-tested” - before I publish, my lessons are tested by both myself and colleagues, rigorously evaluated and discussed, and continually updated to maximise their effectiveness.

But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so do please provide constructive feedback.
