What Is Artificial Intelligence?
Student Name
Date
Learning Objective
Discover what AI means, how it differs from ordinary software, the types of AI, and where AI appears in everyday life — from voice assistants to recommendation engines.
Section 1 — What do you already know?
Before we begin, write down anything you already know about: What Is AI?
Section 2 — Key Concepts
1. What is Artificial Intelligence?
Answer:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence — such as recognising faces, understanding speech, translating languages, or making decisions. AI learns from data rather than following hard-coded rules.
2. How is AI different from a normal computer program?
Answer:
A normal program follows exact instructions written by a programmer. An AI system learns patterns from data and improves its performance over time without being explicitly programmed for every situation.
3. What are the types of AI?
Answer:
The three main types are: Narrow AI (does one specific task well, like a voice assistant), General AI (can do many tasks like a human — does not exist yet), and Super AI (smarter than all humans combined — does not exist yet).
Section 3 — Check Your Understanding
Answer the following questions in your own words.
1. Define Artificial Intelligence in simple terms
2. Explain the difference between AI and ordinary computer programs
3. Identify three types of AI: narrow, general, and super AI
4. Give five real-life examples of AI in everyday use
5. Understand how AI learns from data
Section 4 — Fill in the Blanks
Complete the sentences using the concepts you have learned.
1. What Is AI? helps computers _________________ patterns from _________________.
2. The main difference between AI and a normal program is that AI _________________ from data rather than following fixed _________________.
3. One real-world example of What Is AI? is _________________, which uses it to _________________.
4. The inputs used by an AI model are called _________________ and the output it predicts is called a _________________.
Section 5 — Scenario Thinking
🤔 Think about this:
A healthcare organisation wants to use What Is AI? to assist doctors in diagnosing patients earlier. What data would the AI need? What challenges could arise? How can the team ensure the AI is fair, safe, and accurate?
Section 6 — What Did I Learn?
✅ Three key ideas I now understand:
❓ One question I still have:
⭐ Challenge Task
If you were designing an AI solution using What Is AI?, what problem would you solve? Outline a 3-step plan: (1) Problem statement, (2) Data to collect, (3) How to verify accuracy.
