Artificial Intelligence Discussion Structure and Overview

Executive Summary:
The main goal of this AI discussion session is to engage the students in English discussion practice.
The choice of AI, as a topic for English discussion, is hopefully to foster active involvement and
engagement from the students. This discussion event/lesson will cover generative AI, targeted at
children aged 9-13 in a 45–60-minute session.

It will cover:
1. Introduction to AI and generative AI
2. How generative AI works
3. Examples and demonstrations
4. Benefits and challenges
5. Interactive activities and discussions

Powerpoint display will be created to accompany discussion – it will show pictures or flowcharts, not
a lot of words.

Main Content

1. Introduction to AI and Generative AI (15 minutes)

 First – a relatable example will be given:


o "Have you ever wondered how computers can create pictures or write stories?"
o Show a simple AI-generated image of a cartoon character or animal (to be provided for
approval before showing – one an image that is obviously not real, and one that looks real.)
o If a discussion about the images starts, this will be allowed, as long as engagement is from
more than just a limited number of students.
o Powerpoint display to be created – it will show pictures or flowcharts, not a lot of words.

 Define AI:
o "AI is a way to make computers smart, so they can do things that usually need human
thinking"
o Examples: Playing chess, recognising faces in photos, answering questions
o Raise difference between – simple Old Search Engine search, and a New AI Search.
 Old Search Engine – “Flights from Vietnam to Paris”
 New AI Search Engine – “What is the cheapest flights between Vietnam and Paris in the
month of August 2024”

 Define Generative AI:


o This is the NEW form of AI like ChatGPT
o "Generative AI is a special kind of AI that can create new things, like pictures, stories, or
music"
o Show examples: AI-generated art, play AI-composed music snippet

 Activity: Play "Human or AI?" game


o Show various tasks and have students guess if a human or AI could do it better
o E.g. Create pictures, compare documents, create new stories, …
2. How Generative AI Works (15 minutes)

 Use analogy: "Imagine the AI as a student who learns by looking at lots of examples"

 Explain key concepts:


 Training data: "The AI looks at millions of examples to learn patterns"
o Example: "If it's learning to draw cats, it might look at thousands of cat pictures"
 Learning patterns: "It figures out rules about what makes a good picture or story"
o Example: "It learns that cats usually have pointy ears, whiskers, and a tail"
 Generating new content: "Using what it learned, it can create brand new things"
o Example: "Now it can draw a cat it's never seen before, combining features it
learned"

 Visual aid: Show a simple flowchart on a board/powerpoint showing: Examples → AI Learning →


New Creation

3. Interactive Demonstration (10 minutes)

 Show AI-generated content:


o Art: Display AI-generated images (animals, landscapes, fantastical creatures)

 Discuss observations:
o Ask students: "What do you think is cool about these creations?"

4. Benefits and Challenges Discussion (5 minutes)

 Benefits:
o Creativity: "AI can help people come up with new ideas"
o Helping with tasks: "AI can write first drafts or create quick illustrations"
o Solving problems: "AI might help us find solutions to big problems like climate change"

 Challenges:
o Potential mistakes: "Sometimes AI might get things wrong or create silly results"
o Ethical considerations: "We need to think about how to use AI fairly and safely"

 Activity: Have kids vote on whether certain AI uses are "cool" or "bad"

5. Q&A and Wrap-up (5 minutes)

• Answer children's questions


• Recap main points:
1. AI is a way to make computers smart
2. Generative AI can create new things
3. It learns from examples to make something new
4. AI can be helpful, but we need to use it carefully

Throughout:
- Use simple language, avoid technical terms
- Encourage questions and participation
- Use visual aids (drawings, diagrams, images)
Possible Questions and Answers:
In this section I will remember to adjust language based on the child's age and understanding and be
honest if unsure about an answer.

1.
Q: Can AI think like humans?
A: Not exactly. It's more like a smart calculator. It processes information quickly but doesn't have
feelings or true understanding.

2.
Q: Will AI replace human artists and writers?
A: No, AI is a tool to help. Human creativity and experiences are unique. Great art and stories will still
come from people.

3.
Q: How do we know if something is made by AI or a human?
A: It can be hard! AI often has small mistakes. As AI improves, it gets trickier. Always ask where things
come from.

4.
Q: Can AI learn to do anything?
A: Many things, but not everything. It's good at tasks with clear rules or lots of examples but
struggles with real-world understanding.

5.
Q: Is AI dangerous?
A: AI itself isn't dangerous, but how people use it matters. We need rules to make sure AI is used
safely and fairly.

6.
Q: How smart is the smartest AI?
A: Very good at specific tasks, but no general intelligence like humans. It can't understand things
across all areas of life.

7.
Q: Can AI have feelings?
A: Not real feelings. It can recognise or mimic emotions but doesn't actually feel like we do.

8.
Q: How does AI learn new things?
A: By looking at lots of examples very quickly to spot patterns, like looking at millions of cat pictures
to learn about cats.

9.
Q: Can I make my own AI?
A: Yes! There are kid-friendly tools and games to start. As you get older, you can learn more advanced
ways.

10.
Q: Will AI robots take over the world?
A: No, that's just movies. Real AI is a computer program that only does what humans program it to
do.

11.
Q: How does AI make mistakes?
A: If it learns from bad examples or sees something new. Like thinking all apples are red if you've only
seen red ones.

12.
Q: Can AI be creative?
A: It can combine ideas in new ways but doesn't truly understand creativity. It's more like remixing
existing ideas cleverly.
