Shark AI uses fossil shark teeth to get middle school kids interested in paleontology and computer vision
- RAND conducted interviews with 14 district leaders in 2024 about AI training.
- Districts preferred creating their own AI training due to a lack of outside experts.
- Principals use AI for tasks like scheduling and teachers use it for lesson plans.
- Diliberti noted the early stage of AI training; she said districts focused on comfort with AI tools.
- Reports show an equity gap, with fewer high-poverty districts offering AI training.

Shark AI uses fossil shark teeth to get middle school kids interested in paleontology and computer vision
A student creates their model using Google Teachable Machine. Christine Wusylko, CC BY-NDMost kids have a natural curiosity about sharks − especially their sharp and abundant teeth. Our team had the idea to use the appeal of this charismatic apex predator to teach how scientists use artificial intelligence. We are researchers in AI literacy and STEM education who helped create a series of lessons that use fossil shark teeth to demonstrate the po…
New COSI exhibit sinks its teeth into sharks and their ecological impact
At the forefront of hit movies like “Jaws,” “47 Meters Down” and “Sharknado,” sharks are often represented as fearsome, dangerous creatures — despite posing a statistically low risk to humans. Organized by the American Museum of Natural History, COSI’s new exhibit, “Sharks,” opens Saturday and will run until Sept. 1. The exhibit aims to separate fact from fiction, featuring interactive experiences, real fossils and dozens of life-sized shark mo…

The Conversation: Shark AI uses fossil shark teeth to get middle school kids interested in paleontology and computer vision. “We are researchers in AI literacy and STEM education who helped create a series of lessons that use fossil shark teeth to demonstrate the power and pitfalls of AI. The curriculum guides middle school students and teachers through building and evaluating computer vision models that can reliably classify fossil shark teeth.…
