7.1 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a modern field of computer science that teaches machines how to "think" and "act" like humans. It helps computers solve problems, learn from data, and make smart decisions without being told what to do step by step. AI is used in many areas such as mobile apps, online shopping, health care, and transportation.
For example, when you use a voice assistant like Google Assistant or a chatbot on a website, you are using AI. It helps doctors find diseases, drivers use maps, and students find answers online.
lightbulbActivity: "AI Around Us" Poster Task Students will work in pairs to create a small poster showing how AI is used in different parts of society — such as hospitals, schools, or banks. They can draw, use magazine cutouts, or describe with words. Posters will be shared in class to understand AI's importance in different sectors.
