AI isn't just for fun and games! It helps REAL people with REAL challenges every single day. Today, we'll learn how AI makes the world more accessible for everyone! đ
Accessible = Everyone can use it! đ
Imagine if there was a playground, but some kids couldn't reach the swings or climb the stairs. That wouldn't be fair, right?
AI helps make technology work for EVERYONE â no matter if they can see, hear, walk, or type easily!
Everyone is different! Some people need extra help with certain things:
Need to hear what's on screen
Need to see what people say
Need to speak to type
Need smart movement help
Need computer to speak
Need things explained differently
AI helps ALL these people! đ
What is it? AI reads text OUT LOUD so you can hear it!
Who uses it? People who can't see the screen well, or anyone who wants to listen instead of read!
đą Phone reading messages
đ Audiobooks
đ Websites reading to you
We're going to use Text-to-Speech right now!
⨠Watch as the computer reads this sentence:
"Hello! I am an AI helping you learn. AI can make the world better for everyone!"
(Teacher: Use your device's text-to-speech feature to read the text above)
đŦ Voice typing messages
đ Dictating homework
đŖī¸ Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant
What is it? You SPEAK and AI TYPES what you said!
Who uses it? People who can't type easily, or anyone who wants to talk instead of type!
We're going to use Speech-to-Text right now!
⨠Try saying this sentence:
"AI is amazing and helps people every day!"
(Teacher: Open a text document and use voice typing feature. Students can try on tablets!)
Some people use wheelchairs to move around. AI can make wheelchairs SUPER SMART! đ
Same AI that helps cars helps wheelchairs!
Cameras and sensors "see" the world!
Imagine if you couldn't see. How would you know what's around you? AI can DESCRIBE everything!
đ "This is a red apple"
đ¤ "A person is walking towards you"
đĒ "There's a door on your left"
đ° "This is a newspaper headline"
AI becomes someone's eyes!
Some people can't hear well. Modern hearing aids have AI that makes them SUPER SMART!
Imagine being at a noisy birthday party đ AI helps you hear your friends talking, not just the loud music!
Ahmed can't see, but his phone uses AI to describe everything around him. He can "see" his friends, read signs, and know when a car is coming!
Sara has trouble using her hands to type. She uses speech-to-text AI to do her homework by just talking! She can write stories, send messages, and do everything her friends do!
Omar uses a smart wheelchair with AI. It helps him move through crowded hallways at school without bumping into anyone. He can even tell it where to go with his voice!
AI helps REAL people with REAL challenges. đ
Technology should work for EVERYONE!
AI makes the world more fair and accessible! đ
Now it's YOUR turn to think like an inventor! What other ways could AI help people?
Think of someone who needs help with something, and design an AI tool to help them!
Example: "AI Buddy" â An AI robot that helps elderly people remember to take their medicine and calls for help if they fall!
Let's talk about what we learned! Think about these questions:
1ī¸âŖ Which AI helper did you find most amazing? Why?
2ī¸âŖ Do you know anyone who might benefit from these AI tools?
3ī¸âŖ What other problems could AI help solve?
4ī¸âŖ Why is it important that technology works for everyone?
5ī¸âŖ How does AI make the world more fair?
AI reads to you!
AI types what you say!
AI helps movement!
AI describes the world!
AI improves hearing!
AI helps everyone!
Remember: AI isn't just cool technology.
It's a tool that makes the world better for EVERYONE! đ
