Feedback Loop
When the outputs of an AI model influence its future behavior, for better or worse.
Help me explain to...
K–5th
A feedback loop is like learning from your mistakes. If you spill your juice and then try again more carefully, that’s a loop! Computers can learn this way too, trying, seeing what works, and doing better next time.
6–8th
AI uses feedback loops to improve itself. Just like when students get a quiz back and study the wrong answers to do better next time, AI learns from how people respond to its answers.
9–12th
A feedback loop occurs when an AI system adjusts its behavior based on past outputs and user responses. This can reinforce accuracy, or amplify errors, depending on the quality of feedback. It’s central to machine learning systems that evolve over time.
Expeditions
K–5th
Play a simple game where students guess an answer and get hints to try again. Discuss how their answers got better over time.
6–8th
Have students create a loop where they ask classmates for feedback on a project and make improvements. Relate this to how Vervotex’s platform uses student interactions to refine and personalize support.
9–12th
Let students analyze an app or AI tool they use that seems to “learn” from them. Discuss how feedback loops work, and how tools rely on smart feedback systems.
