How Does AI Learn?
Can Bit teach a computer to spot a cat, without a single rule?
Quiz time!
Priya's AI only saw black dogs. How can she help it?
Yes! Lots of different examples teach better patterns! Not quite. Have another go!Where AI learns from examples
Photo apps
Find all your pictures of dogs or beaches

AI can be wrong. Always double-check!
What we learned
Few, alike examples
- Only orange cats
- Too-simple pattern
- Grey cat? Dog!
Lots of varied examples
- Cats of every kind
- Better patterns
- Grey cat? Cat!
Train with lots of different examples
Try it yourself!
Draw ten animal cards, give them to a friend as examples, and see if they can sort new cards the same way. Or try a free picture-training website with a grown-up.
