LuzIAin search of my companion dogsPluto, Bimba and Mía
A story to learn what Artificial Intelligence is
Three dogs are lost. And LuzIA wants to help.
During a big animal party by the sea, something unexpected happens: Pluto, Bimba and Mía disappear.
Then LuzIA appears, ready to find them. But there's one little problem: LuzIA still doesn't know what a dog is.
Martín, Inés and Alba will have to teach her little by little, using clues, examples and the occasional mistake.
And so begins an adventure where learning is part of the story.
A story to learn what Artificial Intelligence
LuzIA is the educational robot at the heart of the story. At the beginning she does not know what a dog is, and she learns in a way inspired by some Artificial Intelligence systems: she observes examples, receives clues, makes predictions, gets things wrong, corrects herself and tries again.
First she receives some clues. Then she observes, tries, makes mistakes, gets new information and tries again.
As she learns new features, her answers improve. So, within a children's adventure, kids can begin to understand ideas related to how some Artificial Intelligence systems are trained.
It all happens within the story itself, with no formulas or complicated explanations.
Learning is also about making mistakes
Curiosity
Asking questions and observing.
Learning from mistakes
Making a mistake doesn't mean failing. Every mistake can bring a new clue.
Teamwork
LuzIA learns thanks to the children's help.
Critical thinking
Not all clues are equally useful. You have to observe and compare.
Empathy and family
The adventure revolves around helping, accompanying and recovering very beloved family members.
Meet the family of this adventure
And especially Pluto, Bimba and Mía, the dogs who drive the whole search.
Martín. Boy. Curious and adventurous.. The oldest. Always the first to suggest a new clue. His energy is contagious.
Inés. Girl. Observant and sharp.. Pays attention to details. When there's a problem, she's already analyzing it. The most similar to LuzIA.
Alba. The youngest. A playful little rascal ;). Full of tenderness. Her love for the dogs is the force that drives the whole adventure.
LuzIA
The robot
Curious, bright and very inquisitive.
¡Bip, bip!Doesn't know what a dog is. And that's exactly what makes her so special: she learns with every clue.
Grandpa José. The grandfather. Always close, caring and guiding.. Calm, wisdom and love. His presence reminds us that the best learning happens as a family.
Pluto. Dad schnauzer. The dad. Tall and elegant.. Tall, slim, elegant, protective and with a long tail. The most imposing of the three.
Mía. Mom schnauzer. The mom. Sweet and short.. Shorter, rounder, sweet, affectionate and with no tail. The most expressive with her eyes.
Bimba. The daughter. The daughter. Playful and mischievous.. Slim, expressive, playful, mischievous and always on the move. The hardest to find.A story with purpose
This project is born from something very simple: wanting to use what I know to explain to my children, and to other children their age, what Artificial Intelligence is in a way they can understand.
Instead of starting with algorithms, models or difficult words, I wanted to do it through a fun story, full of characters, animals, clues, mistakes and new attempts. An adventure in which children can discover, almost without realizing it, some of the ideas behind how an Artificial Intelligence learns.
But I would like LuzIA to be able to contribute something more.
If this project generates any profits, my intention is to dedicate them to the fight against cancer. A way of transforming a story born from learning, from family and from something very personal into a small grain of sand that can help others.
Because, if LuzIA manages to help some children learn and enjoy, and we can also contribute to such an important cause, this story will have gone much further than I imagined when I started writing it.
Bringing Artificial Intelligence closer to children in a simple, fun and age-appropriate way.
If the project generates profits, dedicate them to supporting the fight against cancer.
Learn, enjoy and, if we can, help.
