AI Adventurers

AI Adventurers[1] is a series of cinematic videos made to teach children of the use cases and dangers of artificial intelligence. The series follows an agent named "Agent" and a chicken named "Chicken" as its protagonists.

As a metaphor for older forms of information gathering, the agent and chicken go fishing, beginning with a pool. Agent's fishing rod accidentally pulls out a plug which causes the pool to drain, depressing the agent. The two wander out into a teal void where they find a series of computers and servers. As the narrator explains AI, the computers are revealed to be in the shape of the word AI. Next, the chicken is used to represent AI, being given hundreds of books by the agent, representing machine learning.

After being shown many books, the chicken then looks at a laptop, a smartphone, and a pile of books. This process takes so long that the agent naps on a bed. Having gone through everything, the chicken has learned many things. This pivots to a sequence of connections, such as books about tigers often mentioning cats, while websites on cats rarely mention cars, pictures of cars often including dogs, and scientific studies of dogs never mention saxophones. Having found "millions and millions of patterns," the chicken wakes the agent up and goes out to test predictions starting with fish not being found in trees, fields, cups, or puddles. They go to a lake and find a whale, incentivizing them to double check what AI puts out.
