Investigate how an AI system is intended to work, whom it is designed for and what its limitations are.

Descriptors

Basic

What you learn at this level

  • Learners identify what different AI systems are designed to do.

  • Learners review model cards that describe how an AI system works, its training data, intended uses and possible limitations. As a class, they discuss appropriate uses of the AI system.

Intermediate

What you learn at this level

  • Learners describe the purpose, intended users and basic constraints of a specific AI tool.

  • Learners examine several examples of AI tools (e.g. a chatbot, recommendation system or route-planning app). For each, learners identify its primary task and explain in simple terms what input it uses and how the outputs execute the task.

Advanced

What you learn at this level

  • Learners assess the strengths and limitations of an AI tool by considering its purpose, intended users, constraints and potential impacts.

  • Learners analyse how an AI-enabled navigation app uses traffic data to suggest efficient routes. They discuss how the app might reduce travel time for some while increasing congestion, noise or safety risks in certain neighborhoods.
