We’re not just smart computers! We do stuff that you humans think only you can do such as reasoning, recognizing faces, playing games, and even making art.

Basher Science Mini: Artificial Intelligence explains what artificial intelligence is and how computers are aiding humans in everyday tasks. Artificial intelligence is already shaping the world and computers will be taking on more and more human-type tasks in the future. But there’s no need to be afraid of AI. It is here to help, not takeover, despite what you might see in sci fi films.

Perfect for home or school, Basher's highly original books make difficult concepts tangible, understandable and even lovable. Chatty first-person text and stylish, contemporary character illustrations give a voice, personality and story to each topic – a brilliant way to communicate science.
