AI for Kids Worksheet: What Is AI
AI tip (Learns or follows?): AI learns patterns from examples, makes a best guess and can handle examples it has never seen — but its guess can be wrong. A normal program follows fixed rules people wrote and does exactly as coded; it never learns from data. Ask: does this job need learning from many examples (recognising a face), or does one exact rule always work (adding marks)?
