The real question isn’t whether kids will encounter AI, it’s whether they understand how it works, what it’s good at, and where it falls short. This category covers AI literacy the way we cover everything else at CodeMonkey: in plain language, built for parents and teachers, not engineers.
Topics we cover:
• What AI actually is — artificial intelligence and machine learning, explained simply, without the jargon
