AI UNIT 2 • STAGE 5 OF 5
Your Field Notes
Whose examples should teach a machine about your nation?
Look back at what you proved
You taught a machine a pattern from a few examples. You fed it lopsided examples and watched it skew. You saw the pile grow to billions, with your community's voice thin inside it. And you found the people making the choices behind it all.
Reread your Field Notes from Stages 1 through 4 before you write your final reflection.
The question this unit was built around
Here it is: when the examples are about your nation, who should choose them?
Think about what you saw. The machine copies whatever it's shown, without judgment. So the choice of examples is really a choice about how your people get represented to the whole world. That's not a small thing to hand to strangers.
ðŠķ Two ways of deciding
In your community, the people who carry a story are trusted to carry it. With most AI, a company far away scooped up whatever was online. Knowing that difference is the heart of data sovereignty.
Compare answers (optional)
Ask the AI, then answer it yourself
Who should decide what data is used to teach a machine about a Tribal nation?See whether the AI's answer matches yours. Whose answer do you trust more?
Write your reflection
This is your deliverable for the unit. Answer the questions in your Field Notes in full sentences, in your own voice.
ð You did it
You can now explain how a machine learns, why the data decides everything, and why your community's voice in that data matters. That's real understanding, and it's exactly what Unit 3 builds on. Our ancestors are watching.
Answer in full sentences, in your own voice:
- 1. In your own words, how does a machine learn?
