Visit John Keble Primary School in Hampshire and you will see Year Six pupils being captivated by the magic of machine learning. Artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us and many of these 10 and 11 year olds and their parents will have used AI assistants such as Amazon's Alexa to play music or turn their lights on and off. Do they understand how these devices work? Experts from IBM visited the school to demonstrate its Watson question and answer computer system which uses machine learning and natural language programming.
