Right Often, Never Always
A machine can be right a LOT — but even a smart machine can get it wrong!
Kavi's Guessing Game
Kavi the owl plays with a photo app that guesses animals. "🐶 Dog!" it says — right! "🐱 Cat!" — right again! Kavi grins. Then she shows it a 🦊 fox. "🐶 Dog!" the app says. "Wrong!" hoots Kavi. "It was right a lot… but not always. Every guess can be wrong — so I always check!"
What your child will learn
A peek inside
Try this at home: Is a machine always right?
Questions parents ask
+Is a machine always right?
No. A machine can be right a LOT — many times in a row — but never always. Every guess it makes can be wrong. That is why we check a machine's answer instead of just trusting it.
+If a machine is right 9 times out of 10, is it always right?
No. Nine out of ten is right a lot, but one time it was wrong. 'Right a lot' is not the same as 'right always'. There is still a time it slips up.
+Why should children check what a machine says?
Because even a smart machine can be wrong. If kids know a machine is right often but never always, they learn to check its answer with their own eyes or ask a grown-up, instead of believing it every time.
+What age is this 'Right Often, Never Always' lesson for?
