Chain Reaction of Errors

Students read a passage explaining how a few incorrect labels in medical images led to widespread AI errors, incorrect warnings, and dangerous consequences. They then complete guided prompts that help them trace the chain reaction from bad labels to bad learning and ultimately bad predictions. The activity encourages students to explain processes in sequence and analyze how small mistakes cause large system failures. Writing about each step deepens understanding of cause-and-effect relationships in AI training. This worksheet reinforces the importance of accuracy and validation in data labeling.
