Traditional software
A person writes rules.
The computer follows those rules.
Example: A calculator receives 5 × 4 and follows mathematical instructions to return 20.
Mission 01
AI Is Already
Everywhere
You may have used AI before you even opened this page today.
Before we explain artificial intelligence, let's find out how much of it you already recognise.
01Discover
Which of these do you think use AI?
Select every example you think uses AI. You can change your mind before submitting.
02Understand
Rules or patterns?
Some products contain both traditional software and AI, so the boundary is not always perfectly simple. This comparison gives you a useful starting point.
AI system
The system learns patterns.
It uses examples or data, then applies those patterns to something new.
Example: A video platform learns what you tend to watch and predicts what you might want next.
03Mini challenge
Find AI in your normal day.
Name three places where you think AI might be involved.
Key takeaway
AI is not just robots or chatbots.
AI is technology that can recognise patterns and use those patterns to make predictions, decisions or create new things.
Add three examples and explain your thinking to complete the mission.
