Abstract

As the world becomes increasingly saturated with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, computational thinking (CT) frameworks must be updated to incorporate AI concepts. In this paper, we propose five AI-related computation concepts, practice, and perspective: classification, prediction, generation, training/validating/testing, and evaluation. We propose adding them to a widely-used CT framework and present an MIT App Inventor extension that explores this framework through project-based learning. © 2019, The Education University of Hong Kong.
