How to Explain AI to Kids – The Eliza Effect – Medium

Your parents just signed you up for some fancy Stanford Summer course in Artificial Intelligence. To be honest, you have no idea what Artificial Intelligence is except for robots or something; however, grownups think everything will have AI someday, so you better start learning now. You attend one of the best high schools in your country, and you tested well enough to get into the course, but you wonder whether you'd prefer your summers outside the classroom. On the first day, the instructor loads up a game of Pac-Man and asks if anyone has ever seen this game before. You pine for moments of screen time when you can explore the internet for new and interesting games; however, class time and game time have always been strictly and mutually exclusive.
