There is a lack of research on the integration of AI in early childhood education (ECE), although we live in a rapidly changing digital world where AI is already a constant presence in our daily lives. Due to a lack of training and practical experience in this field, ECE teachers lack the skills to promote learning of AI technology by children. How to integrate AI literacy into early childhood curriculum is still unknown. Additionally, there is a greater digital divide, which has a negative impact on the field of AI technology. Children from less advantaged backgrounds may not have enough opportunities to develop a solid, fundamental understanding of AI. 

Yang's team is striving to not only increase children’s exposure to AI technology and thus narrow the ‘digital divide’ (Judge et al., 2006), but also enhance their thoughtful and nuanced reasoning about AI – an inclusive mindtool important for living in today’s digital society. 

本單元的課程除了包含兒童對於人工智能的認識方面的知識外，還綜合了人文生活、音樂、語文、STEAM（科學、技術、工程、藝術、數學）、識字等知識。

在語文方面，幼兒聆聽故事並學習關於人工智能及繪本、故事中的詞彙；在人文生活方面，教師會給幼兒提供生活中常見的事物，如：紅綠燈、不同的交通工具、不同的水果、不同的動物及常見職業等，豐富幼兒對於生活的認識；在音樂方面，他們聆聽音樂並做出指定動作或根據音樂判斷出某種交通工具。

在STEAM方面，他們透過繪本和遊戲，配合圖卡和手工材料，認識人工智能的思維和訓練原理；通過小組合作的方式，了解人工智能根據信息推斷結果的過程。
