About me

On Tuesday breakfast was in the wrong order on the kitchen island. Nuts and granola first, plates only afterwards. My two-year-old saw no problem with that, but my four-year-old noticed something was missing. During the day I recognise the same feeling when an AI answer sounds convincing but skips a step. At home I practise that this isn’t quite right with food, fort walls and picture books.

Hi, I’m Kim. Mother of two young children (2 and 4) and by day I work with AI, ontologies and logic. I’m not a pedagogue or parenting expert. This site isn’t a manual for how things should be done. It’s where I translate complex KidTech into what actually happens in our home, at a kitchen table covered in craft clutter.

What wheretokim means to me

I don’t want AI to become an impenetrable black box for the generation growing up with it. While technology still develops in steps, we can expose how mechanisms work. By making them analog.

That means screen-free product tests and reviews, but also deliberately keeping friction: thinking together instead of instantly Googling, correcting mistakes in a fairy tale, carrying on when the battery dies. My children don’t need to become programmers. I hope they’ll later be able to judge, choose and join conversations about tech and privacy; understanding what’s under the hood, without panicking when an app glitches.

How I work

I use AI intensively as a sparring partner for this blog. I write and create with AI, not against AI. My children see that. They hear the difference between my improvised story and what an app predicts. Theory can look neat in the cloud; in our living room, chaos rules. Everything I publish comes from that reality: tested at home, with mud on our hands when needed.

At work I automate tasks within existing guardrails. At home I think about how close we want to get to the boundaries. Alongside posts I’m slowly building tools, such as a bedroom check, a Kitchen Table Lab and an archive of privacy and feature pages for KidTech products. No hype, just structure to help you judge better.

The archive and what comes next

Wheretokim has been around for years. In the archive you’ll find travel, language and book reviews from earlier passions that still matter to me. Those posts stay up; occasionally there’s still an update.

The focus shifts with my family. Today I’m at the kitchen table with toddlers and preschoolers. Where will we be in five or ten years? We’ll find out together, in public, with honesty about what works and what doesn’t.
