Description
Welcome to AI for Kids — the podcast for women who want the kids they love to understand the future, without adding more screen time.
If you're a mom, auntie, teacher, or caregiver who's curious about AI but cautious about tech overload, you’re in the right place. We believe kids can explore the world of artificial intelligence in ways that are safe, simple, and joyful—without staring at another screen.
This podcast is made for kids ages 4–12 (and curious teens too!) and the women guiding them. You’ll hear fun, easy-to-follow conversations with fellow kids and AI experts—no tech jargon, just real talk. We’ll break down what AI is, how it shows up in everyday life, and how to talk about it at the dinner table or on the drive to school.
Whether you’re multitasking, carpooling, or winding down for the night, AI for Kids fits your life. It’s screen-free, engaging, and created to spark curiosity—not replace it.
Because kids don’t need more screen time to stay ahead—just better ways to understand the world they’re growing up in.

Send us a text What happens when a robot colors the sun green? That playful mistake helps us unlock a bigger idea: AI needs you. Not as a spectator, but as the guide who brings context, empathy, and fairness. In this episode, Y stands for “You + AI.” We explore how people and AI work together in the real world, where speed and pattern spotting meet human judgment and care. We explain the idea of “human in the loop,” a simple way to make sure people stay in charge of goals, guardrails, and fin...
Send us a text What if teaching your kids about AI felt as simple as asking a smart friend for help at the grocery store? In this episode of AI for Kids, we dig into one big question every parent is asking: What’s a prompt—and why should kids learn to use one? Together, we explore: Can kids love science but hate math and still thrive in STEM?How can you explain prompts to kids so it “clicks” right away?What simple, fun prompts can kids try—from making coloring pages to writing stories?What do...
Send us a text Nope, we’re not talking about superhero powers — we’re exploring how AI and smart tools use X-rays, thermal cameras, and other sensors to “see” what’s inside things. From spotting broken bones in hospitals to scanning luggage at airports and even studying stars in space, AI helps us look deeper without magic — just sensors plus machine learning! In this episode of AI for Kids, we break down how AI “learns to see,” share simple safety rules about cameras and privacy, and play a ...
Send us a text Diya Wynn, Responsible AI Lead at Amazon Web Services, takes us on a remarkable journey from her childhood in the South Bronx to becoming a technology leader championing fairness in artificial intelligence. Her story begins with a pivotal moment at age eight when, after receiving a basic computer as an academic achievement award, she declared she wanted to be a computer engineer—a path that would shape her entire professional life. What makes Diya's perspective so valuable is ...
Send us a text Season 3 is here! In this episode of AI for Kids, Amber kicks things off with the letter W in our ABCs of AI series. W is for Weights — but not the kind you lift at the gym. In AI, weights are like little dials that tell a computer which clues matter most when it’s learning. Pointy ears? Higher weight for “cat.” Fluffy tail? Could be “dog.” These weights help AI make decisions in games, apps, and even the tools adults use at work. But here’s the twist: if the weights are wrong ...

Each guest reinforced our core belief: understanding technology doesn't require endless screen time, it req...
Send us a text Kaashvi Mittal, a rising high school senior, is transforming how we think about AI education. As founder of Together We AI, she's breaking down complex technology into bite-sized, understandable concepts through free workshops that make artificial intelligence accessible to everyone. The spark for Kaashvi's journey came during a Stanford AI for All summer program where she helped create an AI model analyzing satellite imagery to determine socioeconomic status of different regi...
Send us a text Ever wondered how smart speakers like Alexa know what you're saying? Or how self-driving cars can tell the difference between a stop sign and a person? Our latest episode dives into the fascinating world of voice and vision in artificial intelligence—explaining how AI's digital "ears" and "eyes" work in ways even young children can understand. We break down voice recognition technology, explaining how AI systems listen to spoken commands and figure out appropriate responses. B...
Send us a text Ever wondered how to explain AI news to the curious young minds in your life? This episode of AI for Kids Scoop breaks down the latest artificial intelligence developments from early to mid-June in language kids and adults can understand together.

Send us a text What if technology could help you understand and manage your emotions better? Dr. Alicia Mckoy, founder and CEO of PeakMind, takes us on a fascinating journey through the intersection of neuroscience, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence in the quest for better mental wellbeing. The human brain processes emotions through chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline, triggering our fight, flight, freeze, or relaxation responses. Understanding this complex system is...
Send us a text Today's episode explores the letter "U" in our ABCs of AI series, representing both yoU (our curious young listeners) and Unsupervised Learning. We break down how artificial intelligence systems can organize photos, music, and data by identifying similarities without being explicitly told what to look for. Through our "Sort It Like a Robot" activity, kids can experience firsthand how machines approach pattern recognition by sorting household objects and discussing the different...

Send us a text Ever wondered why AI can be simultaneously brilliant and bewilderingly clueless? Reed Coke, Director of Engineering at KUNGFU.AI, offers a beautifully simple explanation: AI is like singing along to songs in a language you don't know. You recognize patterns and can predict what comes next without truly understanding the meaning. Reed brings his unique background as a linguist-turned-AI engineer to explain natural language processing in terms kids (and adults) can grasp. Growin...
Send us a text Tokens are the invisible building blocks that power every AI conversation, and in this episode of the AI for Kids podcast, we're breaking them down in a way that makes perfect sense for curious young minds! As part of our "ABCs of AI" series, we've reached the letter T, and tokens take center stage. Ever wondered how AI actually processes our words? Unlike humans who understand complete thoughts, AI breaks everything down into smaller pieces called tokens—which can be whole wo...

Send us a text We break down supervised learning, explaining how AI learns from labeled examples just like how children learn from teachers identifying objects. • Supervised learning is when AI learns from labeled examples (like seeing pictures of apples with labels) • The more examples an AI sees, the better it gets at recognizing patterns • Real-world applications include Google Lens, spam filters, AI art apps, and medical diagnostic tools • Bad or confusing data leads to incorrect learnin...
Send us a text Spring is here—and so is our new weekly podcast format! We’re now alternating between fun episodes for kids and a new segment, “AI Kids Scoop,” where we break down what’s happening in AI and education.
