Series: Economics for Kids

AI & Future Tech

Part of the bestselling Economics for Kids series

Welcome to the future-where intelligent machines, creative coding, and digital assistants are shaping a whole new world. AI & Future Tech is an engaging, imaginative, and informative book that opens the doors of tomorrow for young readers, guiding them through the exciting possibilities and challenges of innovation, automation, and artificial intelligence.

Blending captivating storytelling with real-world knowledge, this book reimagines The Nightingale-a timeless fairy tale-through the lens of modern technology. As the story unfolds, readers are introduced to a world where robots perform tasks, automation reshapes the way we work, and algorithms impact decisions. But beyond the ""wow"" factor, children are encouraged to think critically about the human side of technology-our creativity, emotions, and ethical choices that machines can never replicate.

What Kids Will LearnTechnology and Automation

Kids will discover how AI and machines can make life more convenient-automating tasks, assisting humans, and powering our homes and schools. But they'll also learn where machines fall short, especially in understanding feelings, building relationships, and creating art.

Creative Destruction

This book explores how technological progress replaces older systems with newer, more efficient ones-a process called creative destruction. Children will understand how this constant cycle fuels innovation and economic growth, and what it means for future jobs and industries.

Regulation and Ethics

What makes a technology ""good""? Readers will be introduced to the importance of using innovation responsibly, ensuring that AI and automation are fair, safe, and designed with everyone in mind. This section promotes values of inclusion, transparency, and thoughtful regulation.

Balancing Innovation with Humanity

At the heart of the story is a powerful reminder: technology is a tool, not a replacement for what makes us human. Children are encouraged to consider how we can integrate smart tools into our lives while holding onto empathy, compassion, and creativity.

Educational PurposeAI & Future Tech is designed for curious young minds, ages 7-12, who are beginning to explore big questions about the future. As part of the award-winning Economics for Kids series, this book translates complex concepts-like automation, artificial intelligence, and ethics-into fun, accessible, and age-appropriate lessons.

Each chapter builds understanding through:

Relatable examples from everyday life Thoughtful questions that inspire discussion Beautiful illustrations that bring futuristic ideas to life Story-driven learning that keeps kids engaged

Whether you're a parent raising a future innovator, an educator looking to spark classroom curiosity, or a young reader with a passion for science and technology, AI & Future Tech is an essential guide to the future we're all stepping into.

Inspire kids to think beyond the screen, dream bigger, and lead with purpose in a world powered by possibility.

Reviews for Economics for Kids: AI and Future - Lessons from Fables & Fairy Tales

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere - and this book makes it understandable and exciting for kids. From robots to automation, it explains the future of work in a way that sparks curiosity. This is the book every modern parent should have - relevant, smart, and incredibly timely. Timely and so relevant! My son loved learning about robots and data, but what impressed me most was how the book explains how AI changes jobs and the economy. It feels like future-proof learning - I even learned a few things myself.
