Define Key Terms and Technologies
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence describes machines that are designed to learn and think like humans.
Generative AI
Generative AI can create new media based the data on which they have been trained.
Algorithm
An algorithm is a sequence of well-defined, precise steps for solving a problem.

Machine Learning
ML involves the development of algorithms and models to help machines improve performance.

Deep Learning
In deep learning, computers use neural networks (inspired by the structure and function of the human brain) to learn from themselves and get more precise. Deep learning drives today's generative AI.

Natural Language Processing
NLP hopes to give computers more human-like abilities in text and spoken word. NLP combines algorithms, pattern recognition and machine learning.

Natural Language Generation
NLG is the use of AI to produce natural spoken or written narrative. NLG relies on machine learning algorithms.

Large Language Models
LLMs are a type of generative AI that uses deep-learning algorithms that can recognize, summarize, translate, predict, and generate text and other content based on knowledge gained from massive datasets.

Chatbot
A chat bot is a computer program that simulates human conversation with an end user (you). Chatbots rely on NLP and NLG.

Prompt
A prompt is a text-based instruction that provides direction and context to an AI system, guiding it towards generating a desired output.

_______________________________
Create a lesson activity that is creative and hands-on. It should teach learners the basics of what an algorithm is in computer science, teach them the essential components of writing an algorithm, and share everyday examples of algorithms. It should be a balance of instructor-led and exploration. The learners are 11 year olds and they have no prior knowledge in computer science algorithms. There are 45 minutes for the activity.

Our Outline + a Prompt
Prompt we developed:
Act as a presentation facilitator. Create an outline for a presentation on AI that is engaging and interactive for learning experience designers. Include key terminology in AI and key platforms. Create space for participants to critique AI and to explore opportunities for their own workflow and for learners. The target audience is learning experience designers from a variety of professional organizations and higher education. The presentation is 60 minutes and should have as much interaction and discussion as possible.
