Praise

“With AI systems impacting all of our lives, it’s important to consider how those systems are influencing us. This book describes this in a truly accessible way and helps you understand how AI models are trained, how generative AI is pattern matching rather than ‘thinking’, and how to question its outputs critically. Although designed with young people in mind, it is essential reading for anyone in the age of generative AI.”

– Rebecca Franks, Chief Learning Officer at Flip Computing

“Cristianne and I first met during an Army Officer Selection weekend, a challenging experience that we were both thrilled to pass. Amidst the rigorous training, it was refreshing to meet someone who shared a genuine enthusiasm and thoughtfulness about Cyber Security and Technology. It quickly became clear that we had a lot in common.
Cristianne's latest book on AI and Digital Literacy offers a superb blend of technical insight and thoughtful analysis. As the world evolves, we can’t afford to press pause; the way we live, work, and learn must adapt to these new technologies and environments.
The book is highly accessible to students, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The issues it raises are the very challenges we are grappling with in schools today. I highly recommend it to anyone in education who wants to expand their knowledge and understanding in these crucial areas, and I eagerly anticipate the next book in the series!”
