No Robot! Teaching toddlers about AI by Blake Bertuccelli-Booth

Presentation Description

Even toddlers can learn about AI. “No Robot! Teaching Toddlers about AI” is a presentation about a children’s book where a silly robot learns words like real AI — hearing, remembering, and then making funny mistakes. The book helps toddlers build vocabulary, laugh at the robot’s mix-ups, and begin to understand that AI also makes errors and needs correction.
