AI Blunders, Silly Gui

What happens when a high-tech helper makes a mistake? Meet Gui-the most advanced AI in the neighborhood, or so he thinks! When Gui tries to assist with tasks, he proves that even the smartest artificial intelligence can make some pretty "silly" blunders.

In this vibrant installment of the Systems At Any Age (SAAA) series, Dr. Federica Robinson-Bryant introduces readers to the world of artificial intelligence. When Gui's logic goes loopy, it's up to the user to recognize the error and move forward. Through trial, error, and plenty of laughs, the reader discovers that while AI is a powerful tool, it still needs human creativity, ethics, and a companion spirit to truly succeed.

• AI Logic & Coding: An age-appropriate introduction to how AI "thinks" and why they sometimes get it wrong.
• Problem Solving: How to look past a "blunder" to find the root cause of a system failure.
• Self-Efficacy: Encouraging kids to view mistakes not as failures, but as data points for improvement.
• Human-AI Collaboration: Understanding the importance of human oversight in a digital world.

Authored by a Systems Engineering educator and DEI advocate, this book bridges the gap between complex technical concepts and early childhood literacy. It's a perfect addition to any STEM/STEAM library and a great conversation starter for systems literacy.
