About the book
Meet Kai and Nova, his brand-new AI friend!
When a small box arrives on the kitchen table, Kai meets Nova, a friendly AI helper. Together they explore dinosaurs and rockets, make up stories and superheroes, solve puzzles, and even plan a cleanup for their neighborhood park.
Along the way, Kai finds out what AI really is (not magic, just technology made by people). He learns why it's important to do his own homework, that AI can make mistakes, and how to stay safe online. By the end he knows the Five AI Superpowers:
- Be Curious: Ask questions.
- Be Creative: Try new ideas.
- Be Honest: Do your own work.
- Be Safe: Protect your information.
- Be Kind: Use AI to help yourself and others.
The book ends with a note for parents and caregivers, a kid-friendly glossary (AI, bias, data, machine learning, and more), discussion questions, and a "My AI Notes" activity page. My First AI Friend is a warm, hopeful way to start family conversations about the technology children are growing up with.
