What should K-12 students know about AI? - Visit us at the #STEMvideohall - View our video, discuss the initiative, and vote for your favorite project! #AI4K12 Start by introducing students to the Five Big Ideas in AI #AI4K12 marketbrief.edweek.org/marketplace-k-… forbes.com/sites/tomvande…

#AI4K12 A0: I'm Dave Touretzky, a CS professor at Carnegie Mellon. I help run the AI4K12 Initiative.

#AI4K12 A1: I would introduce AI to younger students by telling them that "Artificial intelligence allows a computer to reason and learn, but it doesn't do those things as well as you do."

#AI4K12 A2: In the long run, they're going to be surrounded by autonomous robots. Not Rosie from the Jetsons, but delivery robots, warehouse robots, autonomous vehicles, little drones, big drones...

#AI4K12 I'm actually not too worried about deepfakes, because people are already used to CGI fakery in movies. The difference now is that anyone can create deepfakes. But we already know not to trust things we find on the Internet. So I think we'll adapt quickly.

#AI4K12 A3: states should be incorporating AI education into their curriculum standards. The AI4K12 Initiative just held a workshop on this, to help states develop plans for K-12 AI education.

#AI4K12 A3: In most applications, the AI is hidden. For example, Netflix uses what it knows about you to recommend movies. But it won't tell you what it "knows" about you, or what it thinks about the movies it's suggesting for you.

#AI4K12 A4: I agree that an integrated approach is best at the lower grade levels. In high school we could have specialized AI electives for students who want to go deeper. There are plenty of high schools starting to do that now.

#AI4K12 A5: (only somewhat facetiously) We need to bring back the Cozmo robot. Putting a robot in a student's hands that can see and navigate through the real world -- that changes everything.

#AI4K12 Thanks for facilitating this, Hal Speed . Great job!

A0: Dave Touretzky, CS professor at Carnegie Mellon. Founder and chair of the AI4K12 Initiative. #ai4k12

A1: Pick a question each student has to answer, such as whether to bring an umbrella to school. Then ask them to describe how they make that decision. #ai4k12

A2: the two biggies are (1) a representation of the car's surroundings, including the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians, and (2) a road map with the car's intended route. #ai4k12

A3: Because the car has cameras that can see in all directions, it can be better than a human at deciding whether it's safe to brake suddenly or veer quickly into an adjacent lane to avoid a collision. #ai4k12

A4: for younger kids, tic-tac-toe is a great domain for considering representation (of the board) and reasoning (generation and evaluation of moves). #ai4k12

A4: Older kids could be introduced to the semantic web, which is a giant knowledge representation network, still in development, spread across many web sites around the world. #ai4k12

A5: a big issue is transparency. A system that makes decisions about people should be required to make clear the basis of that decision: what factors are being looked at and how are they weighted? #ai4k12

A6: people are much better that existing AI reasoners at quickly acquiring new concepts and reasoning about them. But they are more prone to errors and fallacies than machine reasoners. #ai4k12
