An independent inquiry into childhood and artificial intelligence

Childhood is changing before our eyes.

Artificial intelligence is no longer simply another technology. It is becoming part of the environment in which childhood unfolds.

Enter Alice

Discovery

The world has begun to answer back.

It recommends, responds, watches, predicts. Before a child understands what intelligence is, intelligence may already be shaping what they notice.

Alice in AI Land explores that transformation.

Alice stands in a luminous city filled with towering robots.
Not a device in the room. An atmosphere around it.

Unease

Everyone is asking what AI can do.

We ask what children need.

Two toy robots race side by side in numbered cars.

Speed is a value. So are attention, judgment, play, and time.

A young child sits face to face with a weathered blue robot rabbit.

The Alice Perspective

Children are not experimental subjects.

Technology should adapt to childhood—not the other way around.

Understanding comes before excitement.

Curiosity should be protected.

Human development remains the reference point.

A thoughtful child and yellow robot sit beneath a wall of questions, letters, and symbols.

The invisible curriculum

Some of childhood’s most important work does not look efficient.

By combining developmental psychology, education, ethics, and technology, Alice offers a human-centred perspective on the age of AI.

Hope

The machines can be held. The future can be shaped.

The question is not whether children will grow up with intelligent machines. The question is what place those machines will occupy in a human life.

Invitation

The future of artificial intelligence will be written by engineers. The future of childhood will be written by all of us.
