AI1: Lesson 1 What is Artificial Intelligence Myths vs reality
How do we know when a system is truly intelligent - and when it’s not?
Start your AI unit with impact. This KS3 / lower secondary computing lesson introduces students to Artificial Intelligence by challenging what they think they know.
It opens with a myth-busting activity that separates fiction from fact, followed by a clear explanation of how AI actually works - including the difference between traditional programming and machine learning.
Students complete a structured spot-the-AI challenge, create a myth-vs-truth poster, and explore how AI might shape the world in 2075.
Through this, students uncover:
• How Artificial Intelligence differs from traditional programming using fixed instructions
• Why Machine Learning systems get smarter with more data
• How to apply Algorithms and reasoning to spot true AI in everyday life
• What makes common myths about AI misleading or inaccurate
