Further information for teachers and assessors Resource requirements For this unit, learners must have access to:
•
sources of large data sets to train and test the AI solution
•
industry standard software (such as IDEs), suitable programming languages and
AI libraries
•
cloud technologies, e.g. AWS SageMaker, Google AI.
Essential information for assessment decisions Learning aim A For Distinction standard, learners will present an evaluation of AI in different
industries. Learners will evaluate the use of different types of AI (e.g. machine learning,
deep learning, computer vision) considering how they are applied in different contexts.
The evaluation will look at ways that AI is applied to solve problems and meet specific
objectives, drawing comparisons between the uses in different contexts. The evaluation
should consider a range of benefits, risks and drawbacks of AI and ways that adopting
AI solutions can impact on organisations. Learners will detail the business, human,
technical, and ethical and legislative factors that can have an impact on the adoption and
success of AI solutions, providing supported value judgements as to the impacts these
things can have in specific cases.
Overall, the evidence will be logically structured and use correct technical terms with a
high standard of written language, including the consistent use of correct grammar and
spelling.
For Merit standard, learners will present an analysis of AI in different industries.
Learners will consider the use of different types of AI (e.g. machine learning, deep
learning, computer vision) exploring how they are applied in different contexts. The
analysis will look at ways that AI is applied to solve problems and meet specific needs.
The analysis should consider a range of benefits, risks and drawbacks of AI and ways
that adopting AI solutions can impact on organisations. Learners will detail the business,
human, technical, and ethical and legislative factors that can have an impact on the
adoption and success of AI solutions.
Overall, the evidence will be logically structured, technically accurate and easy to
understand.
