The recording from my talk at @Heapconf has been posted - the idea of the talk was to share stories of #artificialintelliegence lessons I’ve run in schools. The focus of the talk was how I've seen children understand and react to #machinelearning

School students are able to engage in debates about the ways that artificial intelligence tech is used. This can be helped giving them a hands-on chance to experiment with the tech and see for themselves how bias can be introduced. https://t.co/dY58mEHtGx
machinelearningforkids.co.uk
By experimenting with their own machine learning model, students can see how easy it is to introduce bias into AI applications - which enables them to engage in debates on ethics in AI.

Some of the most effective #machinelearning lessons are when something goes a bit wrong. The discussions this enables really helps students understand how ML behaves. Here's one example of how that can go... https://t.co/SwgPekXy4T

When students train a machine learning model to do one thing, they can see how it might not be very good at doing a different thing.

Allowing students to experiment in a child-friendly sandbox can help them to understand how #MachineLearning doesn't always learn what we wanted it to learn! Here are a couple examples of how I've seen this go... https://t.co/DYh6R2EQR0

Machine learning models learn from patterns in the training data that we give them, whether or not those are patterns we'd intended to give.

The flexibility of #Scratch provides students with opportunities to explore the behaviour of #MachineLearning models in creative ways - such as how to deal with machine learning tech being a black box. https://t.co/77ORKE07jn

Students can learn a lot about the role of confidence scores through playing and experimenting with their own simple #machinelearning models - some of the ways children will describe this are fantastic https://t.co/FBIwpF2yNm
machinelearningforkids.co.uk
Students learn how to effectively use confidence scores returned by machine learning models by playing, experimenting, and seeing the difference that different confidence thresholds make.

The experiences students get by making their own #machinelearning projects helps them understand the behaviours and motivations of big tech companies. This is one of my favourite examples: https://t.co/8uNgotiASD

First-hand experience with machine learning technologies gives students a crucial insight into the behaviour and motivations of tech companies.

Sentiment analysis projects are a nice way to show students that machine learning can learn to recognize a variety of types of patterns in text, not just the meaning or intent of the text. https://t.co/4fqr7k2WWu

Using existing tools like #Scratch and #AppInventor to introduce students to #machinelearning was a conscious choice - to send a message that it complements what they already learn about coding https://t.co/ULSDhBapUg
machinelearningforkids.co.uk
Building with ML in an existing sandbox like Scratch makes it clear that ML isn't separate to, or a replacement for, coding.
