U1_Lesson1_Introduction to Generative AI

Purpose: Students will understand AI's basic framework: Input, Storage, Processing, Output (ISPO).
Vocabulary: Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Large Language Model, Model, Machine Learning.

Activity: Students in no more than one sentence will attempt to define (guess) a specific term prior to seeing a short video that explains it and shows its relationship to AI. After the video, students will be able to edit their definition of the term.

1a.Journal: Name any job that has been created as a result of the growth of AI?
1b.Video: Careers in Generative AI

2a. Journal: In no more than one sentence, define..."Large Language Models."
2b. Video: Large Language Models

3a. Journal: In no more than one sentence, define..."Machine Learning."
3b. Video: Machine Learning

4a. Journal: In no more than one sentence, what 4 things make..."A Computer.?"
4b. Video: What Makes A Computer A Computer?

Review - Can you find the 5 terms explained in the prior videos in this AI Word Matching Quiz? Here are the definitions...now match them to the words!
AI_Matching Quiz (Note: this quiz was created using one of the AI Apps. provided in Lesson #2).

  1. Instructions: Match each term in Column A with its correct description in Column B by writing the letter next to the corresponding number.

    Column A - Terms

    1. Generative AI 
    2. Large Language Models 
    3. Patterns 
    4. Data 
    5. Machine Learning 

    Column B - Definitions

    • A. Groupings of like Data (patterns).
    • B. Recognizable sequences or trends that occur within Data, often used in training algorithms.
    • C. The collection of facts, numbers, words, observations or other useful information.
    • D. Allows systems (AI) to learn and improve without being explicitly programmed. By feeding it large amounts of Data, patterns are seen and Models are developed.
    • E. Is a type of AI that creates it own new content (eg. text, images, or music) by learning from existing Data.
    (Notice above that the cornerstone of AI is Data...lots of Data!)
