AI Awakening
Class 6 · Learn AI by doing — 12 hands-on chapters with Aanya, Vihaan & Pixel · 12 chapters
Inspired by CBSE Computational Thinking & AI exposure curriculum for Classes 6–8. AIKO is independent of CBSE.
What is AI? (and what it's NOT)
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.
