CR.2 Understand and Use Data

Computational thinking

In My Life

I can compare finance rates to decide where to get a loan for a car.

In My Work

I can make changes that reduce errors at my workstation informed by real-time machine output data. (AI)

In My Education

I can use data collected for a project to create visual representations (graphs, charts, etc) in a report.

As a Teacher/Trainer

I can combine my background, skills, and relationships with learners with suggestions from a personalized learning analytics tool to make informed teaching decisions. (AI)

Lesson 5: Understanding AI Bias

AI Literacy Lessons for Students

How does AI bias happen? Artificial intelligence is trained on real-world data that people have given it, and if that data contains biases (or is incomplete), the AI can end up being biased, too. In this lesson, students will think critically about the training data that informs what AI tools can do, and consider possible ways to reduce AI bias.

Lesson 6: How AI Bias Impacts Our Lives

AI Literacy Lessons for Students

What are the impacts of AI bias? Just like people, artificial intelligence tools can make mistakes. That could mean simply mistaking tomatoes for apples. But the impacts of AI bias can often be much more serious. AI tools can end up recirculating harmful stereotypes and inequities within society. In this lesson, students will think critically about AI bias and how it affects the world.

Lesson 7: AI Algorithms - How Well Do They Know You?

AI Literacy Lessons for Students

How does artificial intelligence influence what we see online? In a world filled with more content than we could ever possibly consume, recommendation algorithms have long been a necessary part of the internet. This type of AI helps determine what we see (and don't see) online. But while that can be helpful, these algorithms can have unintended consequences, like creating filter bubbles, perpetuating bias, and undermining our creativity, choices, and opportunities. Use this lesson to help your students think critically about how AI is shaping their experiences online in both helpful and harmful ways.

Lesson 2: How is AI Trained

AI Literacy Lessons for Students

How does data determine what artificial intelligence can do? Artificial intelligence is often trained on data we share online. Help students become more critical and responsible users of this technology by gaining a deeper understanding of how AI uses data to learn and create.
