AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is when computers and machines can do things that normally need human intelligence. This includes understanding language, solving problems, and even learning from experiences. Can you think of any devices or apps that use AI?
AI has been around for a while! It started in the 1950s when a scientist named Alan Turing asked if machines could think. Since then, AI has grown a lot. In the 1980s, computers started playing chess, and now, AI can help with everything from recommending movies to driving cars. Write down one way AI has changed over the years.
AI works by using algorithms, which are like recipes for the computer to follow. These algorithms help the computer learn from data. For example, if you show an AI lots of pictures of cats, it can learn to recognise cats in new pictures. Try explaining this to a friend or family member.
Think about how AI might be used in the future. Write a short paragraph about one way you think AI could help make the world a better place.

Chromebooks, laptops, and PCs are crucial tools for coding and digital skills education. Chromebooks are ideal for web-based applications and collaborative projects, while laptops and PCs support a wider range of programming environments and software for more intensive tasks like software development and data analysis.
