Full Text Reviews:

School Library Journal - 04/01/2025 Gr 4–6—This fourth set in the Spotlight on Kids Can Code series includes two titles on machine learning, offering an overview of artificial intelligence and generative AI. Each book explores the history, current applications, and future possibilities of these technologies. While there is some explanation of how AI and GAI function, the focus is on broader concepts rather than coding specifics. Readers looking to develop their own programs or apps will not find technical guidance here. Each two-page spread pairs a full page of text with a related stock photo that supports the topic without adding much depth. Occasional text boxes highlight interesting details, such as the typical size of a dataset used to train AI. A glossary and index wrap up each volume. VERDICT A fine choice for those seeking a general introduction to AI and GAI, rather than those looking for hands-on skills. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
