Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. When responding to feedback AI can be used to develop ideas.
  2. AI may be biased or use stereotypes, such as representing people as one ethnicity.

Keywords

  • AI - Artificial Intelligence: the simulation of human intelligence in machines that can learn, reason and solve problems

  • Algorithm - a set of rules or procedures a machine follows to process data and make decisions

  • Bias - a tendency to favour or judge something unfairly based on personal beliefs or preferences

  • Stereotypes - a generalised belief or assumption about a group of people or things

Common misconception

Using AI when designing is cheating.

AI can be used to help inspire us and is used to develop our own ideas. We must just be open and honest in our use of it.
