Smart Machines Make Dumb Decisions

Learners examine three scenarios where AI systems make flawed or biased decisions-hiring, policing, and loan approval. For each, students identify where bias may have entered the system and propose practical improvements. The activity builds awareness of bias in real data and helps students think like responsible designers by suggesting solutions.
