LESSON
AI Algorithms: How Well Do They Know You?
How does artificial intelligence influence what we see online?
In a world filled with more content than we could ever possibly consume, recommendation algorithms have long been a necessary part of the internet. This type of AI helps determine what we see (and don't see) online. But while that can be helpful, these algorithms can have unintended consequences, like creating filter bubbles, perpetuating bias, and undermining our creativity, choices, and opportunities. Use this lesson to help your students think critically about how AI is shaping their experiences online in both helpful and harmful ways.
Objectives
- Learn what recommendation algorithms are
- Understand how recommendation algorithms are trained and make decisions
- Reflect on how algorithmic content can shape our online experiences and what we value
