Recognise AI’s role and influence in different contexts.
Descriptors
Basic
What you learn at this level
Learners can identify where different types of AI are present in their everyday lives.
Learners play “AI or Not” with their teacher. Given examples, such as smart home devices, social media or apps, they can categorise each based on whether it uses AI.
Intermediate
What you learn at this level
Learners share examples of how AI systems have influenced their own choices and experiences at home, in school or online.
Learners compare examples of “for you” landing pages on social media platforms and reflect on how and why they are influenced by what appears.
Advanced
What you learn at this level
Learners can analyse how AI systems may shape individuals’ beliefs and behaviours as consumers, learners, workers and citizens.
Learners explore screenshots from AI chatbots and apps to identify when it may be designed to persuade, rather than inform. With a teacher, they discuss how features like “streak” counts, character names or overly-agreeable responses might be engineered to increase engagement.
