Show HN: An interactive AI tutorial I wrote for my 11-year-old

https://learnai.robennals.org/
3•robotelvis•1h ago
I've created an interactive tutorial that teaches how AI models work. I set myself the goal of making it approachable enough that my 11 year old son Isaac can fully understand it.

The tutorial aims to be easily understood by anyone who understands basic math, and yet give them a deep intuitive sense of not just how AI works but why it works the way it does. It does this using a series of interactive playgrounds that let the reader play with each idea.

Currently there are 9 chapters, starting from scratch and ending with transformers. I'm planning to keep adding more chapters until the tutorial covers all the key ideas behind cutting edge AI. Follow me on LinkedIn to find out when I add more chapters.

Isaac's final remark after finishing the current chapters was "Transformers are really cool" - and indeed they are.

This sounds awesome! Now if only I knew maths...
robotelvis•53m ago
The goal is that this tutorial shouldn't require much math knowledge. If there is anything in there that is too hard to understand then let me know.

My 11 year old son seemed to get it all, so I think it should be pretty approachable, but I'm sure there is stuff I can improve.
