Inference
The process by which an AI model uses its training to make predictions or generate content based on new data.
👩🏫 How to Explain by Age Group
Elementary (K–5)
“Inference is when a computer guesses what comes next, like finishing your sentence!”
Middle School (6–8)
“AI uses what it’s learned to make new decisions. This step is called inference, and it’s like using clues to figure something out.”
High School (9–12)
"Inference is the stage where a trained model applies its learned patterns to generate outputs or make predictions from new input data.”
🚀 Classroom Expeditions
Mini-journeys into AI thinking.
Elementary (K–5)
Play a fill-in-the-blank game with common sentences. Then explain how AI “guesses” the next word using similar logic.
Middle School (6–8)
Show students an image partially covered and ask them to guess what it is. Compare this to how AI makes predictions based on limited input.
High School (9–12)
Use a simple ML demo to show how inference works. Let students input new data and see how the AI responds. Discuss speed, accuracy, and real-world examples.
