Frequently Asked Questions

How can I explain Artificial Intelligence to a young child?

The best way is to use simple metaphors and games. This book suggests comparing AI to a 'Super-Intelligent Parrot' that mimics what it has heard, or a 'Genie of the Books' who has read everything but lacks common sense. This helps demystify the technology and make it understandable.

How can I protect my child from the dangers of AI?

Protection is based on clear rules and open dialogue. The book proposes creating a 'Family Pact' that establishes non-negotiable rules on privacy and institutes a 'Trust Button,' encouraging children to talk to parents about any content that makes them uncomfortable, without fear.

Does this book help prevent my child from cheating in school with AI?

Yes, one of the main goals is to promote the ethical use of AI. The book introduces the 'Honesty Compass,' a system that teaches kids to use AI as a tool for learning and not as a shortcut to avoid thinking. The goal is to train their brain, not the machine's.
