CBSE | DEPARTMENT OF SKILL EDUCATION
CURRICULUM FOR SESSION 2023-2024
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (SUB. CODE 843)
CLASS XI & XII
COURSE OVERVIEW:
AI is a discipline in computer science that focuses on developing intelligent machines, machines
that can learn and then teach themselves. These machines, then, can process vast amounts of
data than humans can, and several times faster. However, AI can go across all disciplines to
change the world for the better– from creating new healthcare solutions, to designing hospitals
of the future, improving farming and our food supply, helping refugees acclimatize to the new
environments, improving educational resources and access, and even cleaning our oceans, air,
and water supply. The potential for humans to improve the world through AI is endless, as long
as we know how to use it.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:
In this course, the students will develop knowledge, skills and values to understand AI and its
implications for our society and the world and to use AI to solve authentic problems, now and in
the future. The students will engage with a host of multi-media online resources, as well as
hands-on activities and sequence of learning experiences.
The following are the main objections of the course:
1. Develop informed citizens with an understanding of AI and the skills to think critically
andknowledgeably about the implications of AI for society and the world
2. Develop engaged citizens with a rigorous understanding of how AI can be
harnessed toimprove life and the world we live in
3. Stimulate interest and prepare students for further study to take up careers as AI
scientistsand developers to solve complex real world problems
SCHEME OF UNITS
This course is a planned sequence of instructions consisting of units meant for developing
employability and vocational competencies of students opting for skill subject along with other
education subjects. The unit-wise distribution of hours and marks for class XI & XII is as
