Lyfta Time #78: Ilya in the USA

Teacher notes

This mini-lesson can be delivered either from the front of the classroom using a central computer screen, or for students who have access to their own computers or devices. **Note:** AI is a very big topic to explore and we suggest slowing it down and spending longer then the usual 20 minute slot, if you intend to explore the whole storyworld and watch the film. We'd recommend you look at the longer lesson plans to develop your learners' understanding. This lesson introduces Ilya, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at Open AI. You could use it to explore the theme of new technologies like AI that impact our lives, or careers in technology. **We strongly advise that you skim read the article 'A brief history of AI' including the simple glossary at the bottom before teaching, so you can discuss the concept of AI and AGI before viewing the film.** Like ALL Lyfta storyworlds, these characters are unique. We don't share stories as being 'typical' or as 'single stories' of people or places. **Please note:** If this is your first Lyfta lesson, please see these specially designed introductory lesson plans first, which introduce the Quest Tracker and how Lyfta works: Option 1: #1 Lyfta Time: Rob in Cornwall' is a 20 minute introduction exploring one storyworld Option 2: ‘How to use Lyfta’ is a 45 minute lesson exploring multiple storyworlds.
