Synopsis

Machine Learning for Kids introduces young readers to the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the related applications of Machine Learning. Readers learn how to create intelligent games like a rock-paper-scissors game that can learn hand motions and use them to compete against another player; an application that can recognise the genre of a book based on its cover; a post sorting game that will recognise the postal code on an envelope and use it to send a letter to the right place. They'll also learn how to create a chatbot to answer questions; an artificially intelligent character that will recognise compliments and insults; a virtual Alexa-style smart assistant that learns simple commands; even how to train a Pac-Man character to avoid ghosts. Each project demonstrates a different way that AI is used in the real-world, and readers will be introduced to the biggest issues and challenges that the adoption of AI brings to society.
