    1 - Introduction to AI

    AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. It is a big word, but don't worry, we will make it easy for you to understand. AI is like a robot brain. It helps computers, phones, and other machines to think and learn like humans. For example, when you ask your phone a question and it gives you an answer, that's AI at work!

    2 - Identify AI in Everyday Life

    Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is everywhere around us. It's in the games we play, the phones we use, and even in the cars some people drive! Here are a few examples:

    • Smart Speakers: When you ask Alexa or Google Home to play your favorite song, that's AI in action!
    • Video Games: Ever notice how characters in your video games seem to think on their own? That's AI too!
    • Navigation Apps: Apps like Google Maps use AI to find the quickest route to your destination.

    3 - How We Use AI

    Here are some more ways we use AI:

    • Playing Games: AI helps us play games on our phones or computers. It can be the opponent we play against in a game of chess or it can help make the game more fun and challenging.
    • Watching Cartoons: AI helps recommend what cartoons to watch next based on what we've liked before.
    • Talking to Virtual Assistants: AI helps us talk to virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa. We can ask them questions or tell them to do things like play music or set a timer.
    • Learning Online: AI can help us learn by suggesting what to study next based on what we're good at and what we need to practice more.

    4 - AI in the Future

    Now, let's use our imagination and think about how AI might be used in the future! Here's how you can do it:

    1. Think about your daily routine. What are some things that you wish could be easier or more fun?
    2. Imagine how AI could help with these tasks. Could a robot help you get ready for school? Could a smart fridge suggest what to have for breakfast?
    3. Once you have an idea, it's time to bring it to life! You can draw a picture of your idea on a piece of paper. Try to include as many details as possible. If you prefer writing, you can write a short paragraph about your idea. Describe what the AI does, how it helps people, and why it would be useful.
    4. When you're done, share your idea with a friend or family member. Ask them what they think about it. Do they have any other ideas for how AI could be used in the future?
