AI Mistakes and Limitations

人工智能的错误与局限性

Description

Machines make mistakes; they only know what they've been shown; bad training data leads to bad results; AI is not magic — just maths on data; showing edge cases and failures

Mastery Evidence
  • Give an example of AI making a mistake (voice assistant mishearing, auto-correct error, wrong recommendation)
  • Explain that AI mistakes happen because of gaps or errors in training data
  • Describe why AI is not magic — it follows mathematical rules applied to data
Assessment Prompt

If an AI incorrectly identified a picture of a muffin as a chihuahua, could your child explain why that kind of mistake happens?
