About This Book

In Children and Modern AI: Challenges and Opportunities, young readers are introduced to the exciting and quickly evolving world of artificial intelligence through clear explanations, real‑world examples, and engaging, age‑appropriate language. The book explores how AI developed over time, what it is, and how it learns from data to recognize patterns, make predictions, and support human decision‑making. From everyday uses like recommendations, translation, and smart devices to powerful applications in medicine, education, and science, readers discover how AI is already shaping their daily lives. Along the way, the book explains different kinds of AI, including machine learning and large language models, while highlighting both future possibilities and current limitations, such as bias, mistakes, and the need for human oversight. With a strong focus on ethical responsibility, safety, and critical thinking, this informative and accessible guide encourages children to use AI thoughtfully—as a tool to support creativity, learning, and problem‑solving in an increasingly digital world.

Dr. M. K. Pour, DBA, MS, MBA is an educator, author, and publishing leader with a lifelong passion for learning and knowledge sharing. Throughout his academic career, he has been deeply committed to helping students develop strong analytical and critical thinking skills—an approach that continues to shape his work today. His professional life has been dedicated to advancing research, education, and ethical knowledge dissemination across disciplines. Over the course of his scholarly publishing career, he has authored and/or edited numerous peer-reviewed articles and books, including his 10-volume reference work, Encyclopedia of Modern Artificial Intelligence. In addition, he has served as Editor-in-Chief or founding Editor-in-Chief of many respected academic journals, contributing significantly to the global scholarly community. Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. M. K. Pour is also a devoted father of two young children. As both a longtime professor and a parent, he understands the challenges families face in preparing children for a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). While children hear about AI every day, many lack a clear, age-appropriate understanding of what it is, how it works, and how it should be used responsibly. The Journey of Jason the Frog™ series was created from this dual perspective—as an educator and as a parent. The books are designed to spark curiosity, strengthen intellectual independence, and encourage children to think critically while learning about geography, technology, and the real-world applications of AI. Dr. M. K. Pour believes that AI should empower children—not replace their thinking—and that true preparation for the future begins with nurturing young minds to question, explore, and learn.
