Lessons and Tools for Teaching About Artificial Intelligence
It can be tough for teachers to prepare students for the jobs of the future. Who knows what lies ahead 10 or 20 years? Whatever the future holds, it's likely that artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and language models like ChatGPT or Bard will be a big part of it. Thankfully, we've uncovered a great set of classroom resources for teaching students about the tech behind AI. These resources, which we've curated below, unpack how AI can be used and its current and future economic, cultural, and social impacts. Thankfully, most are free and have ready-to-use lessons and activities. Several also feature games or interactive features that help students build and tinker with their own AI- or machine learning-driven tools.
