Hello Tech Enthusiasts!
We’re thrilled to invite you to a unique Tech Meetup event featuring the launch of Dr. Rachel Chung’s latest book, “AI: The Magic Box”. This book brings the world of AI into clear view, making it accessible and engaging for readers of all ages, especially young AI learners aged 9-15. Dr. Chung’s work demystifies artificial intelligence, transforming it from a “black box” into a “Magic Box” that both kids and adults can understand and use safely.
About the Book: “AI: The Magic Box” introduces AI fundamentals through an illustrated activity-based story of siblings, Connor and Atena, who aim to adopt a hypoallergenic puppy with the help of AI. By exploring the essential steps in the AI process—Collect, Train, and Decide—young readers will build a foundation in AI concepts like artificial neuron networks, machine learning, and model training. Designed to be an interactive experience, this book includes math-based exercises, explanations, and a final challenge project with a fully worked-out solution. It’s the perfect resource for those ready to learn how AI works at a deeper level, with exercises that develop key skills in training models and making predictions.
