Descrição do livro

Can a machine ever truly think, or just imitate thinking convincingly? Can an algorithm be biased, even though it's "just following instructions"? And should there be limits on what artificial intelligence is allowed to do?

GCSE Computer Science: The Question Is... is the fifteenth book in a bold series designed to help GCSE and IGCSE students think more deeply about their subjects, not just prepare for exams.

Most Computer Science guides focus on syntax, algorithms, and exam pseudocode. This book does something different. It explores 25 of the most urgent questions about intelligence, ethics, and technology, and uses them to develop the kind of thinking that underpins both academic success and genuine technological literacy.

Inside, you will explore questions such as:
  • Intelligence, Thought and Machines - Can a machine ever truly think, or just imitate thinking?
  • Algorithms, Bias and Fairness - Can an algorithm be biased, even though it's "just following instructions"?
  • Data, Privacy and Ownership - Who should own the data a person generates simply by living?
  • Creativity, Originality and Automation - Can a computer be creative, or only recombine what it's been shown?
  • Power, Access and Digital Inequality - Does access to technology narrow the gap, or widen it?
  • Ethics and the Future of AI - Should there be limits on what AI is allowed to be used for?
Each of the 25 questions is organised by theme and designed to encourage reflection, discussion, and debate. This makes the book ideal for independent study, classroom conversations, or parents and children exploring ideas together.

Written for students who want more than exam preparation, teachers looking for material that goes beyond the syllabus, and parents who want to discuss technology and its consequences with their child in a way that feels like a conversation rather than revision, this book requires no experience as a coder. You only need curiosity about the systems increasingly shaping how we live.
