A Kids Book About AI Bias (Penguin Random House)

I have long been a fan of Dr. Epps’s ability to break down complex concepts into engaging and actionable insights, and that is precisely what they have done with this book. Whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay, and this book simplifies this complex world and its inherent biases through captivating storytelling.

What’s most remarkable is that this isn’t just a book—it’s a guide to the future. “A Kids Book About AI & Bias” gives children the tools they need to understand how AI impacts their lives and inspires them to think critically, advocate for fairness, and ultimately help reshape the technology landscapes of tomorrow.

When you ask yourself, who is coding my future, I hope they are students of this philosophy. This book is for families and educators striving to develop thoughtful, informed digital citizens—a book destined to become a cult favorite in homes, schools, and beyond.

AI is shaping the world kids will inherit, but most books about AI bias are written for adults. This book is different—it’s made just for kids, the ones who will not only navigate this tech-driven world, but also help shape its future. With clear explanations and real-world examples, young readers will learn how AI can sometimes reinforce unfairness and, more importantly, how they can be part of the solution by demanding technology that works for everyone, not just a few.

By Dr. Avriel Epps

Real power tomorrow begins with those who question today! This essential book empowers readers of all ages to be curious and critical about the digital world. It explores how AI reflects and reinforces social hierarchies, urging us to move beyond being passive “users” and instead become active participants in shaping the technologies that shape our lives.
