How AI influences you

This unit is split into three lessons. They can be delivered all together (~2hrs) or one at a time over multiple sessions, or you may pick-and-choose from the activities. The lessons cover a particular type of AI system—a recommender system—which is used by streaming and social media services to recommend content, online shopping platforms to recommend products, and so on. These lessons will give learners a conceptual overview of how such systems work, as well as make them aware of the ethical implications of using them. There are cross-curricular links to CfE Level 3/4 Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Social Studies, and Technology.
