dek: In a Cambridge classroom, Joseph, 10, trained his AI model to discern between drawings of apples and drawings of smiles. “AI gets lots of things wrong,” he said, as it mistakenly identified a fruit as a face. He set about retraining it and, in a flash, he had it back on track – instinctively understanding the inner nature of artificial intelligence and machine learning in a way few adults do.
