Can Santa Trust AI?!
Join Santa as he learns all about the science behind Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning!
Will AI help Santa make his naughty and nice list or will it lead to disaster?
Find out the answer in this newest addition to the Santa the Scientist series, along with lots of important fun facts that everyone should know when using AI. It’s a handy reference for people of all ages!
We have written the book with both children and adults in mind. No science background is necessary to enjoy the story! Also, check out the other books – Santa the Scientist and Santa Studies: The Aurora !
The content of this book was written by humans.
The pictures were made using free AI apps.
Did you know that pictures made with AI can have funny mistakes?
People might have the wrong number of fingers or there may be writing and objects that don’t make sense! On different pages of this book, Santa might look different, toys and decorations might be different… Keep an eye out!
Can you find examples of funny AI mistakes in the pictures in this book?
It is important to practice finding AI mistakes to help you tell what is real and what is fake online!
