In this learning activity, students learn about artificial intelligence and how it is being used in real-world applications. They are introduced to IBM's Watson and watch Star Wars footage as they are reminded of creative ways artificial intelligence has been used in movies. Students are asked to brainstorm ways they use artificial intelligence in their daily activities.
In this learning activity, students will watch a video about Google Assistant. In this video, students will witness artificial intelligence being used via Google Assistant to call a salon to book an appointment for a client. Students will then use an artificial intelligence-generated text-to-voice website to create an audio file of their own.
In this learning activity, students will watch small video clips similar to text-to-speech technology. This video shows artificial intelligence-generated sound clips that have been matched to each short video clip. Students will try to guess which audio clip is real and which one has been artificially generated.
In this activity, students will explore Artificial Intelligence, develop their own definitions of what AI is, and share examples with their classmates via Note.ly.
This activity was created as a result of the DLCS COS Resource Development Summit.
Manuela Veloso is an artificial intelligence (AI) researcher from Carnegie Mellon University who programs small robot dogs to play soccer. Her primary goal is to increase the learning abilities of her robots. This video can be played for students as an introduction to a lesson on artificial intelligence.
This DragonflyTV segment introduces robotics engineer Dr. Una-May O'Reilly, who designs robots with the ability to function without the help of humans. Her work on artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually give human faces and personalities to robots. This video can be played as an introduction to a lesson on artificial intelligence.
This DragonflyTV segment introduces NASA roboticist Dr. Ayanna Howard. Her job is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to build robots that can travel into space and other hazardous locations. In this segment, she discusses her work on a rover for use on Mars. Also available in Spanish. This video can be played as an introduction to a lesson on artificial intelligence.
From spam filters and self-driving cars to cutting edge medical diagnosis and real-time language translation, there has been an increasing need for our computers to learn from data and apply that knowledge to make predictions and decisions. This is the heart of machine learning which sits inside the more ambitious goal of artificial intelligence.
We’re going to talk about how computers see. We’ve long known that our digital cameras and smartphones can take incredibly detailed images, but taking pictures is not quite the same thing. For the past half-century, computer scientists have been working to help our computing devices understand the imagery they capture, leading to advancements everywhere, from tracking hands and whole bodies to biometrics to unlock our phones.
