2. 2
A.I is inescapable and
constantly being used to
solve new problems. It
impacts future industry, our
global economy, jobs and
now education. More than
that it has an impact on what
it is to be Human.

3. How did we get here?
Three waves of technology driving A.I
3
All underpinned by the need
for Security and Privacy
Cloud Data Mobility

4. What are A.I technologies?
4
Technologies that transform the world in dramatic ways
Deep Learning
Combines the advanced computing
power with neural networks to learn
complicated patterns from large
volumes of data.
NLP
Natural Language Processing can
derive meaningful interpretation
of naturally occurring texts/speech
that can be in any language and
respond back to humans.
Assists computers to learn and
improve with each iteration to
solve problems without being
explicitly programmed by using
mathematical algorithms.
Machine LearningArtificial Intelligence
Technologies that are
closing the gap between
Humans and Machines
moving towards Human-
level intelligence.

6. What we should teach
children about A.I?

Coding is for everyone
Children need to know how to
make technologies work for
them, not just be consumers of it.
M.L Concepts are easy
Machine Learning concepts are easy
to teach and for young children to
grasp.
Life-Long Learners Prosper
Technology changes so quickly that a
mindset that embraces life-long
learning is a must. IBM provide free
resources at every stage of a Developers
learning from the very young to the
experienced professional.

7. Our Developers build Machine
Learning teaching resources
that show how breaking down
a task into a series of steps to
be followed is the beginnings
of a life-long coding skill.

Machine Learning for
Kids
A free resource from IBM that
introduces school kids to the
principles and implications of
machine learning. Simple
worksheets help them train simple
machine models and use them to
make games and interactive
projects.

11. “Every organization that
develops or uses AI, or hosts or
processes data, must do so
responsibly and transparently.
Companies are being judged not
just by how we use data, but by
whether we are trusted
stewards of other people’s data.
Society will decide which
companies it trusts.”
Ginni Rometty, IBM Chairman, President and CEO
