An introduction to artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming a bigger part of our lives, so understanding the ideas behind the technology is more important than ever. If you’re looking to get your head around the basics of this developing tech and how to discuss it with your students, check out Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and He Kōrero Whakataki ki te Atamai Rorohiko. These new resources were developed by TENZ, DTTA, and the Ministry of Education. They support existing guidance on using AI tools in schools and kura, and help Years 4-13 kaiako teach about this important field.

They include:

  • common terms used in AI, outlining some of the basics
  • opportunities for some possible positive impacts AI can have across society
  • possible risks from AI technology that we should be aware of
  • next steps in your learning journey if you’re interested in exploring AI further, including some suggested learning activities and links to further reading.
