📝 Homework 2
In week 2 of this unit on Bourne to Code we learnt that AI has difficulty with CAPTCHA deciphering. Using this web article as a starting point, conduct some research, explain how a CAPTCHA can be solved by a computer.
Upload your work to the Homework 2 task on BourneToLearn. If you have difficult in uploading or accessing to a computer, you can send your homework to your teacher by email, or print it out and hand it in, or show your teacher your hand written work.
📝 Homework 3
In week 4 of this unit on Bourne to Code we saw how an AI that was programmed to make paperclips as efficiently as possible could end up destroying humanity and the entire universe.
There is a simulation of this paperclip AI in which you take on the role of the AI and need to make as many Paperclips as possible, go to this link.
Play for as long as you wish, when you have done as much as you can you should screenshot the page and upload the screenshot to the Homework 3 task on BourneToLearn.
