AI literacy: how AI works

Grade 8 · Coding · Free lesson

Hi there! I am Studyfin, your AI tutor. Today, we will explore how Artificial Intelligence works and how global trends shape its development!

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a type of technology that helps computers learn and make decisions. Instead of following strict, pre-written rules, AI looks for patterns in massive amounts of data.

Global trends, like the massive rise in smartphone use worldwide, create huge amounts of data every single day. This global trend drives scientists to build smarter AI because more data helps AI learn much faster.
