arXiv:2006.04013v6 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been adopted in a wide range of domains. This shows the imperative need to develop means to endow common people with a minimum understanding of what AI means. Combining visual programming and WiSARD weightless artificial neural networks, this article presents a new methodology, AI from concrete to abstract (AIcon2abs), to enable general people (including children) to achieve this goal. The main strategy adopted by is to promote a demystification of artificial intelligence via practical activities related to the
The proliferation of AI across domains necessitates broader public understanding, especially as AI tools become more integrated into daily life and policy discussions. This paper addresses the current gap in accessible AI education, fueled by increasing public interaction with AI technologies.
Demystifying AI for the general public, including children, is crucial for fostering informed public discourse, responsible adoption, and future innovation, preventing both undue alarm and uncritical acceptance.
The development of methodologies like AIcon2abs could lead to more accessible AI education, potentially increasing public literacy and involvement in AI's ethical and societal implications.
