AI's best guess at what comes next, based on patterns. Your feed, your recommendations, and autocomplete all work this way — no editor is choosing for you.

Prediction is taught in Lesson 1, AI vs. Humans: What Makes Us Different?, part of the Foundations unit of the AI Explorers course for kids. Maya is the guide for that lesson, and it is one of 8 terms in the unit.
