Artificial Intelligence is no longer a sci-fi fantasy; it’s a daily reality. It powers the search results for your child’s homework, recommends the next family movie, and is already transforming industries from medicine to farming. This incredible technology promises a future of unprecedented innovation. Yet, it also brings a wave of complex questions: How do we guard against algorithmic bias? What does a world with deepfakes mean for truth? And how will AI reshape the jobs our children will one day seek?
For parents and educators, starting this conversation can feel daunting. How do you explain a Neural Network to a teenager? How do you discuss AI ethics in a way that’s engaging, not alarming?
This is the challenge we set out to solve with “The Robots Are Alive! Adam and Layla Demystify AI.”
Following the success of “Bitcoin Is Halal,” this new book invites your family back into the lively home of Adam, a 14-year-old tech enthusiast, and his sharp, artistic sister, Layla. When their smart speaker hilariously misunderstands a simple request, it sparks a family-wide adventure to figure out what AI really is.
This isn’t a dry textbook. It’s a story. Through the characters’ witty dialogue, funny mishaps (involving a cat-ninja and a wise tortoise), and patient guidance from their parents, complex topics become simple. Readers will effortlessly learn about:
- Machine Learning through the analogy of a baby learning to recognise a cat.
- Neural Networks as a “team of detectives” or a “stack of pancakes.”
- Real-world applications, from helping doctors in hospitals to aiding farmers in Bangladesh.
“The Robots Are Alive!” is designed to be a shared experience. With “Adam’s Brain Blasts,” “Layla’s But Whyyy?” boxes, and end-of-part family discussion questions, it provides the perfect launchpad for one of the most important conversations you can have with your children today. It’s a book about preparing them not just to be consumers of future technology, but to be its thoughtful, critical, and ethical shapers.
The future is arriving faster than ever. Isn’t it time your family started talking about it?
