My 1st Book of AI: An Easy Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Kids

AI is everywhere today. But how do you explain Artificial Intelligence to a child in a simple, honest, and age-appropriate way?

My 1st Book of AI: An Easy Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Kids helps children ages 5–8 understand what AI really is, how it learns, and where they may already see it in everyday life - from voice assistants and recommendations to smart tools and technology around them.

Written by an engineer and designed especially for young learners, this engaging STEM picture book introduces complex ideas in a warm, simple, and thoughtful way that kids can actually understand.
