AI and machine learning mini-clips
Teachers from the Royal Society Schools Network have identified various video excerpts (mini-clips) that can be used as lesson resources to help explore the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Each clip introduces an idea, such as ‘How do machines learn?’ to ‘Is it intelligence, learning or mimicry?’, and last just a couple of minutes. The excerpts are all taken from the You and AI lecture series, and are focused on secondary level learning.
