When you think of AI, you might imagine a walking, talking robot or you might think of a giant computer that wants to take over the world. The reality is that AI is a brilliant human invention that can be found in nearly every modern device, from our computers to our cars.

AI can seem scary at times, so working out where we use AI and why is an important part of making the best of this exciting technology. So, what is an algorithm and can it help you choose pizza? Can ChatGPT do your homework? And when you watch TV, is it watching you back? All these questions and more about AI are answered in a fun, funny, and engaging way.

Dr Matt Agnew has a Doctorate in Astrophysics and a Masters in Artificial Intelligence, and believes in making STEM accessible for everyone.

Perfect for:

  • Independent readers aged 8+
  • Curious kids wanting to know how current technology works
  • Parents, teachers seeking fun and accessible STEM resources for the home or classroom
  • Parents who want to help their kids understand how social media works
  • Anyone who wants AI explained
