Humans have always dreamed of creating artificial intelligence, but have we finally done it? Find out in this fascinating introduction to AI for young readers.

From the ancient Greeks to Chat GPT, we’ve been trying to artificially create a machine with human qualities for centuries. Stronger, smarter, braver, the dream of a superhuman brain has fuelled the imagination of science-fiction writers and filmmakers throughout history. And while we’re still a long way from a world populated by the robots from our favourite movies, the technology that could power them already exists. It’s called Artificial Intelligence, or ‘AI’.

We can’t see it and yet the technology is everywhere: it’s in our phones, computers, cars, at the doctor’s, and it’s already making decisions for us, for better and sometimes for worse…

A fascinating first look at AI, robotics and machine learning. This captivating book profiles inventors and takes a closer look at how machine learning and AI already exist in our phones and elsewhere in tech in our homes and cities. It highlights which AI robots from the world of science fiction are coming closer into being!

This is a beautifully presented and well-researched deep dive into an enduring topic of robotics and our growing interest in coding and machine learning for children aged 9+. This is ideal for STEM-loving children: it’s a book that looks cool and is full of facts to share with friends and family.
