I picked up this book because of curiosity and because the cover is so colourful, and I am genuinely interested in the topic. Honestly, this book does not disappoint, and I think it will serve a great amount of information for children to discover and feel wow.
The explanations are informative and light, and it was a fun read with facts and examples. This book also introduces and explains various experts who benefit from AI tools and types of rare occupations, making it an interesting topic for children to explore new and endless possibilities of job preference.
Speaking of the title, this book assures how AI works and how it will help humans perform better daily. The core understanding of this book is that AI serves as a tool, and it will never really replace the essence of being human. A great and fun read, I enjoy every page and learn a bunch of new perspectives. Recommend!
