Pattern

Something that repeats often enough that AI can spot it and use it to make a guess about what comes next.

In practice

After seeing millions of sentences, AI learns that "peanut butter and" is usually followed by "jelly."

Where students meet it

Pattern is taught in the intro lesson, Welcome to AI Explorers, part of the Foundations unit of the AI Explorers course for kids. Atlas is the guide for that lesson, and it is one of 8 terms in the unit.

Back to all 58 AI terms for students.

KNOWING THE WORD IS THE START

Pattern is one of 58 terms students meet across 16 video lessons that teach them to direct AI rather than just use it.
