Discussion of papers
- One way of dispelling student misconceptions about ML is to engage in embodied interaction. What does this mean to you?
- Prompting the students to think about the ethical and societal implications of AI is one of the highlights of the paper for me. (Lee et al. paper)
- you need to know how to program/code in order to understand AI. vs. Children are not expected to have any prior knowledge of the concept or programming, hence it is recommended that they be taught AI concepts without advanced programming. Which is it?
