Amber Ivey's book, AI… Meets… AI: An Exciting Tale of Connection and Adventure, is quickly climbing the Amazon bestseller list in the Children's Computer Hardware & Robotics Books category. This illustrated book is the perfect way to introduce young readers to the world of artificial intelligence.
The story follows Addy, a young girl, and her AI friend, Jaz, as they explore Baltimore and learn about the power of friendship and environmental care. Ivey was inspired to write this book when she began to think about who will be living in our AI-heavy future. She wanted to create a Black protagonist for young readers to identify with.
"I realized it's today's kids who will be living in this world," Ivey told People of Color in Tech. "That sparked the idea to introduce AI to children, so they grow up seeing it as a normal part of life, not something scary or overly complex."
Ivey hopes that her book will open the minds of Black children and spark an early interest in STEM fields such as technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Through her characters, she wants to shift the narrative and show young readers that their skin color or gender doesn't limit their potential or dreams.
AI… Meets… AI was released on June 14, 2023 and is intended for readers ages four to eight. With a mix of adventure, discoveries, and shared learning, this book is sure to be a hit with young readers. Let's encourage the little ones to become tech-savvy and to dream big!
