Humans Versus Machines
Comparing human and machine capabilities: creativity, empathy, common sense vs speed, memory, repetition; the Turing Test (simplified); what makes humans unique
Suggested ages 7–9
Evidence of understanding
- Name at least three things humans are better at than computers (creativity, empathy, common sense)
- Name at least three things computers are better at than humans (speed, memory, repetitive tasks)
- Describe the Turing Test in simple terms (can a computer fool a person into thinking it's human?)
Assessment prompt
Could Humans Versus Machines explain what humans are still better at than computers and what computers can do that humans can't?
