Booktalk: Malcolm Montgomery is the new kid at Shirley Chisholm Charter Middle School. In no time at all, he’s been slapped with the weird kid label. Is it because he’s a foster kid who’s been in nine homes? Or maybe because he burps when he gets nervous…which is often? Malcolm has a plan to finally get adopted by a forever family before it’s too late. But then on Visiting Professionals’ Day, his school invites Dr. Alphonse Hatch, president of Hatch-ED—one of the fastest-growing artificial intelligence companies in the state—to give a presentation. Dr. Hatch brings his AI-powered robot, and events get set in motion that create…THE INCIDENT.

Booktalk: This short chapter book explores how artificial intelligence is affecting everyday life and gives concrete examples of how people might interact with artificial intelligence in their day-to-day lives.

Snippet: Some people believe AI is a recent technology. But early AI was first developed in the mid-1900s. Research during that time focused on how humans and computers could work together. In 1956, a professor named John McCarthy introduced the term artificial intelligence. And in 1958, he created a computer programming language called LISP.
