Lesson 2: The Mind of a Machine

AI for Education

In this lesson, students explore what generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is, and how it is trained to respond to human prompts. Students then use the game ‘Celebrity Heads’ to compare ChatGPT, a Generative AI (GenAI) Chatbot, to human intelligence. Students then synthesize their learning by evaluating what ChatGPT’s performance in Celebrity Heads tells us about the strengths and limitations of GenAI today.
