AI for T(w)eens: This Is Not a Textbook: How the Boring Stuff You Learn at School Is Behind Every App, Algorithm and AI You've Ever Used (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195420277)

The gift for the teenager who thinks they already know everything.

Spoiler: they don't know this yet.

Every app, algorithm and AI system they use every day was built using things they're learning at school right now. The Python loops. The if/then logic. The probability their Maths teacher keeps insisting will be useful one day.

This book connects those dots - in plain English, without talking down to them.

• How TikTok figures out exactly what keeps them scrolling
• Why ChatGPT sounds confident even when it's making things up
• How face recognition works - and why it gets some people wrong more than others
• What deepfakes actually are and how to spot them
• What AI genuinely cannot do (this chapter alone is worth it)
• Free tools to build their own AI model in an afternoon

Perfect for ages 10-16. Curious teenagers, strong students, anyone doing Computing, anyone who owns a phone - so, all of them.

Also genuinely useful for parents who want to understand what their kids are growing up into.

Written in a dry, British tone that treats teenagers like they're intelligent. Because they are.

Great for birthdays, Christmas, end of year, results day, or just because.
