请问HN：你是如何教孩子们关于人工智能的知识的？
我是一位有两个孩子（9岁和11岁）的父亲，一直在苦恼如何向他们介绍人工智能的世界——不仅仅是工具，还有概念、局限性、风险和奇迹。
为了应对这个挑战，我正在创作一本儿童书籍，以叙述的形式解释人工智能。我之前也为孩子们写过其他书籍，涉及政治、悲伤和数字隐私等复杂主题，但这本书让我感到特别紧迫和棘手。
在我构思的故事中，一个孩子收到一个普通的纸箱作为礼物。出于好奇，她开始把所有的书都塞进箱子里——故事书、百科全书、漫画书、数学手册。在某个神秘的临界点，箱子“活了过来”，开始回应她。随着他们的互动，故事探讨了诸如幻觉（箱子开始编造东西）、强化学习（箱子在获得奖励时会改进）、偏见、预测，以及智能与模仿之间的微妙界限等概念。
我希望获得以下帮助：
- 有助于解释人工智能运作的良好学习资源、隐喻或视觉模型（最好是适合儿童理解的方式）
- 关于何时以及如何向孩子们介绍人工智能的反思——尤其是在他们深入接触生成式人工智能工具之前，如何培养批判性思维
- 其他人尝试向年轻人教授（或解释）人工智能的故事或经历，无论是作为父母、教育工作者还是创作者
期待听到大家的想法、资源或警示。谢谢！

I'm a father of two kids (9 and 11) and I’ve been struggling with how to introduce them to the world of AI — not just the tools, but the concepts, limitations, risks and wonders.<p>As a way to process this challenge, I’m working on a children's book that explains AI in a narrative format. I’ve written other books for kids tackling complex topics like politics, grief and digital privacy — but this one feels especially urgent and slippery.<p>In the story I’m outlining, a child receives a plain cardboard box as a gift. Curious, she starts stuffing all her books into it — stories, encyclopedias, comic books, math manuals. At some mysterious threshold, the box "comes alive" and starts responding. As they interact, the story explores concepts like hallucination (the box starts making stuff up), reinforcement learning (the box improves when rewarded), bias, prediction, and the fine line between intelligence and mimicry.<p>I'm looking for:<p>Good learning resources, metaphors or visual models that help explain how AI works (ideally in ways accessible to children)<p>Reflections on when and how to introduce AI to kids — especially before they get too deep into GenAI tools without critical thinking<p>Stories or experiences from others trying to teach (or explain) AI to younger people, whether as parents, educators or creators<p>Would love to hear thoughts, resources, or warnings. Thanks!
