What is AI? (and what it's NOT)
A matching voice is not available on this device. Read-aloud may use the original voice.
Aanya's phone unlocks just by looking at her face. "Whoa! How did it KNOW it was me? " she asks.
Vihaan shrugs: "Magic? " A little robot named Pixel beeps to life. "Not magic — that's AI! But your alarm clock isn't AI. Let me show you the difference. "

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is software that LEARNS from lots of examples, instead of being told every single rule by a human. Show it thousands of faces and it learns to recognise yours.
A fixed rule is different: your alarm rings at 7 AM because someone set it. It never learned anything. The trick is telling these two apart.
Google Maps predicting traffic = AI (it learned from millions of trips). A calculator doing 2+2 = a fixed rule. Most apps mix both!
Tap an example, then tap the box where it belongs: did the AI LEARN it, or is it a FIXED rule?
Which of these is REAL AI?
- AI learns from examples; fixed rules are set by humans.
- If it improves by seeing data, it's probably AI.
