Learning about AI with Google’s Teachable Machine
https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/
I’m teaching a module on Artificial Intelligence to my Year 9 students, and they are really enjoying it. Today’s lesson was about “How do we get a machine to learn” and led on to training the following machine to recognise the difference between two students.
Unfortunately, the model was taking too long to train at the end of the lesson (hint – always leave plenty of time to do this activity!) but I didn’t want to lose the value training it had done so at the end I downloaded the model and set up a page that has a webcam that will (hopefully) detect which student is standing in front of the camera. The beauty of this is that no images of the students are stored anywhere. The model has already learned all it needs and discarded the original images.
