Description (from Abstract):
The increasing contributions of AI technologies to everyday life, and the social upheavals on the horizon as these technologies develop further, have sparked interest in AI education worldwide. The AI4K12 Initiative is developing U.S. national guidelines for what K-12 students should know about AI, and what they should be able to do with it. The guidelines address four grade bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12, and they are organized around “five big ideas in AI”: Perception, Representation & Reasoning, Learning, Natural Interaction, and Societal Impact. In this chapter we consider the key insights we want students to gain into the big ideas in AI, and how learning about AI may influence other aspects of their educational experience.
