AI by 8 believes children can begin learning about artificial intelligence long before they ever use an AI tool. We use the 5 Big Ideas in AI to introduce young learners to the building blocks of how AI works. Children explore how AI systems sense and perceive, represent and reason, learn, communicate and interact, and affect people and society. Through stories, games, hands-on activities, and classroom conversations, students build an early understanding of what AI can do, where it has limitations, and how people play an important role in shaping AI. These foundational ideas help children become thoughtful, curious, and informed participants in an AI-enabled world.
