Tech for Tomorrow: The Tech for Global Good - AI Inclusiveness

How can we diversify the field of artificial intelligence?

Grades 6 – 8

From YouTube recommendations to suggested driving routes, we
rely on artificial intelligence (AI) throughout our daily lives—and
its influence is only continuing to grow. However, because AI is
created by humans, the experiences and biases of its developers can
influence how AI solves problems. In order for AI to be as inclusive
and beneficial as possible, it’s therefore crucial that people from a
variety of backgrounds work together to help machines learn. In this
lesson, students will explore the issue of AI inclusiveness through
a series of video clips featuring AI4ALL, a program that provides
educational opportunities for students to learn about AI.
To gain a better understanding of the problem, students will first
participate in a hands-on machine learning activity that will help
them explore and understand AI’s potential for bias. They will then
use design thinking to brainstorm how to bring people from diverse
backgrounds together to work toward a bias-free AI. The lesson will
culminate as students consider how they could help their community
learn more about this problem, empathize with those whom it affects,
and/or promote AI inclusiveness. They will create a brief plan that
details how they
