Risk mitigation of AI

In this unit, pupils will explore how data science and AI tools are having an impact on our daily lives. They will develop an understanding of how to use these tools effectively as well as an awareness of the issues relating to trust, bias and misinformation.

Using data science and AI tools effectively and safely

the data given to an AI system so it can identify patterns and relationships

able to make new things like pictures, stories, music or ideas

able to make guesses about the future based on past data

an AI system used to produce or complete written text based on patterns identified in training data

an estimate of what might happen next based on patterns found in training data

when something is unfair towards or against something or someone

confidence that something will work as expected and produce reliable and fair results

the input question, instruction, or message you give to a large language model (LLM)

when something is unclear or too general to be useful

the extra information you give to help the LLM interpret your prompt better

using knowledge and skills to design and create things that solve problems or make life easier

when something is free from bias and gives equal consideration and treatment to all parts of a group or situation

when the data does not properly reflect the whole group or situation it is meant to describe

when data includes a wide range of examples that fairly represent different parts of the whole group or situation

an AI tool that produces pictures from a prompt using patterns it has identified in large collections of existing images

the visual appearance of an image, such as realistic, cartoon, photographic or painted

to make small changes to something in order to improve its accuracy, quality or suitability

to trick, deceive, or influence people to change their belief about something

a fake video, picture, or sound made with AI technology that looks or sounds real, but isn’t

being open and clear about how a system works

creating and enforcing rules to guide how something is used

keeping people responsible for checking and controlling how AI systems are used
