★ The Future is Now, Don't Let Your Child Fall Behind in AI!
As "AI principles" become key questions in middle school physics exams and "technology ethics debates" turn into essential interview topics for top schools... AI isn't magic; it's the essential key to future education. Smart parents have already equipped their children with AI thinking engines.

★ This book explains artificial intelligence in a language that children can understand, complemented by comics.
From historical origins to modern technology, it vividly shows how AI has moved from science fiction into our daily lives, making complex concepts like deep learning and big data simple and easy to understand with fun analogies and real-life examples. The book not only explains the practical applications of AI in smart homes and navigation but also takes children on a journey to explore the future wonders of generative AI and the metaverse, stimulating scientific thinking with smart diagrams and easily opening the door to cutting-edge technology for children.

★ What This Book Can Bring to Children:
Cultivate Scientific Thinking: Turn abstract concepts into vivid stories
Use "AI error books" to illustrate backpropagation algorithms, use the "three laws of robotics" to discuss technology ethics
Tell children, "Siri doesn't dream, but it can remember you saying 'turn on the air conditioner' 100 times!"
Stimulate Creative Potential: Provide a scientific fulcrum for all sorts of imaginative questions
When children worry if "AI will become the master of the world," show them how the Dartmouth Conference set the original intentions for AI
When they wonder "why navigation always gets the wrong route," use big data map games to explain algorithm logic
Master Future Competitiveness: Build a bridge between science fiction and reality
The cool special effects in sci-fi movies have long been turned into factory safety manuals by engineers
From the virtual world to real-life applications, inspire children to use technological tools to realize their wildest ideas

In the vast sea of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) shines like a bright star, illuminating humanity's path to exploring the future. From the moving mechanical servants in ancient Greek myths to today's intelligent systems that can write poetry and drive cars, AI's fantastic journey spans thousands of years of imagination, condensing the wisdom and sweat of countless scientists. It's not just a technological leap but also an eternal inquiry into the nature of "intelligence."

This book takes readers into the world of AI with a relaxed comic style. Whether you are a teenager full of curiosity about technology or a beginner who wants to understand the basics of AI, you can find answers here. We use stories as clues and vivid analogies to unveil complex concepts—comparing "deep learning" to AI's "hard work and practice," "sensors" to robots' "little eyes," and turning the "metaverse" into an adventurous virtual amusement park. Every page tries to answer a core question in the most relatable way: How did AI move from fantasy to reality, and how will it shape our future?

The book consists of six chapters, progressively opening a feast of knowledge and imagination for you:
Chapter 1 traces AI's "past and present," from mythological tales to the Turing Test, from the AI winter to the rise of deep learning, revealing how AI has broken through limits step by step.
Chapter 2 unveils the mystery of big data, telling how data becomes AI's "nourishment" and the epic evolution of storage technology from knot-tying to quantum storage.
Chapter 3 explores AI's "hardware partners"—from the bulky ENIAC to pocket-sized chips, from the parallel computing of GPUs to the "perception magic" of sensors, showing how technology gives AI a "body."
Chapter 4 focuses on AI assistants in daily life: smart homes, navigation systems, financial advisors... It turns out AI has already quietly integrated into everyday life, becoming our most considerate "invisible partner."
Chapter 5 steps into the creative kingdom of generative AI, comparing the "rigorous craftsman" with the "unrestrained artist," discussing how ChatGPT and DeepSeek rewrite creative rules and face ethical challenges.
Chapter 6 takes a tour of the fantastic metaverse world, experiencing virtual classrooms, digital healthcare, NFT treasures, and thinking about how AI and the virtual world will reconstruct human life.

The book is interspersed with fun tips, historical anecdotes, and future prospects, paying tribute to pioneers (such as Alan Turing, scientists at the Dartmouth Conference) and focusing on real issues (such as privacy protection, technological risks). We hope that through this book, readers will not only understand AI's "superpowers" but also comprehend the scientific logic and humanistic thinking behind them—technology is ultimately a tool, and human creativity, emotions, and values are the core forces that drive it.

Now, please turn to the next page and join us on this journey full of surprises and inspiration. Here, machines and dreams are intertwined, data and inspiration dance together, and every curious you will become a writer of future stories.
