Artificial Intelligence: Textbook For Class X (As per CBSE syllabus Code 417)

Part A explains the communication process, self-management and its Skills, Information and Communication Technology, tools, and the role of ICT. The book further defines usage of employability skills in a person's life by defining business, entrepreneur skills, categorization of environment and ecosystem. Employability skills are useful as they are transferable; a person can adapt them to whichever situation they find themselves in. 

Part B excites the learners to explore and get motivated about Artificial Intelligence applications in their daily lives. The curriculum basically focuses on introduction of AI terminologies, its applications, AI project cycle and AI ethics in class 8 and 9. The early chapters review the content knowledge learnt so far. The book further progresses by a quick revision of Python concepts explored in class 9. The student is aided further to build concepts and be able to understand Advance python which includes Algorithm and flowchart, Jupyter notebook. The Python concepts taught help students to focus on various techniques  used to make the machine intelligent through various domains of AI; Data Science, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing. 

Part C consists of a sample project using computer vision.

Part D consists of CBSE Sample Question Paper and 2 Sample Papers
