This Computing scheme of work video introduces teachers to key concepts pupils explore in their first Artificial Intelligence lesson. It explains what AI is, how it works and its impact on the world.

Pupils learn that AI uses data and algorithms to perform tasks like recognising faces, understanding language and solving problems. Teachers are introduced to two main types of AI: text-generated AI, which creates written responses, and image-generated AI, which edits pictures.

The video addresses common misconceptions, clarifying that AI follows programmed instructions and does not think or feel. This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Year 6 Exploring AI unit. It helps teachers confidently introduce AI and build a foundation for ethical thinking and digital literacy.
