Let’s get started
with a warm-up
Look at the the pictures and discuss the
questions.

➔ How would you define


Artificial Intelligence or AI?
➔ What activities are
computers now better at
than humans? Which are
humans better at than
computers?
➔ Computers get faster and
better every year. Is it just a
matter of time before they
become more intelligent
than humans? 3
Let’s learn some
vocabulary
We can change the form of a word (e.g. from a verb to a
noun) by adding suffixes. Use the words in capitals and
the suffixes below to make new words. Then, complete
the
-able
gaps. [part 1/2]

A. Researchers often study in areas that satisfy their ………………. and as a
result of this new things are invented. CURIOUS

B. Recent ………………. in machine learning has allowed us to create


machines that can win against humans in some areas. DEVELOP

C. Engineers can now apply ………………. technological solutions to


automatize many tasks that require human input. ADVANCE

In groups, write down as many words as you can
with the suffixes given to you by the teacher.
You can also turn it into a competition!
The group with most words wins!

9
Choose two words from your list and, in a separate
file, create two sentences with gaps.
Exchange the sentences with another group
and ask them to complete the gaps.
Don’t tell them which suffixes the teacher gave you!

10
In a moment, you’ll watch a video titled:
What is Artificial
Intelligence (or Machine
Learning)?
Watch the video (to 03:51) and answer the questions.

A. What does the AI field of


science deal with?

B. When was the term


“artificial intelligence”
invented?

C. What are the factors


responsible for the
growth of AI in recent
years?

D. How is AI being used


now? 12
Let’s check your answers.

machines seem like they have human intelligence.
B. When was the term “artificial intelligence” invented?
1956 by John McCarthy
C. What are the factors responsible for the growth of AI in recent
years?

Dartmouth professor, John McCarthy.

C.And now thanks to advances/advantages in processing speeds,


computers can actually make sense of all this information more
quickly.

D.Tech giants and venture/visiting capitalists have bought into AI and


are infusing the market with cash and new applications.

E. That means AI can manifest itself in many different ways. Let's


break/take down the options.

F. Natural language processing makes these bots a bit more 14
