Kitchen Table Lab — Check AI
What AI makes looks convincing. How do you tell if something was made by a person or a machine, what does the computer recognise, and is an image really true? This trilogy teaches your child to check instead of believe.
The trilogy
Three steps: recognise, distinguish, verify. Do them in order or one at a time. Each experiment takes a few minutes.
- 1. Recognise

Eleven pictures. Often everything is fine, but sometimes there is a weird glitch. The computer guesses blindly — you check the facts.
Safe & private: fixed images in the page; no upload, no account.

How to use them
- Start with one demo or do all three in a row — the order on this page is a logical path.
- Explain that the computer sometimes guesses beautifully, but does not always understand what something really is.
- Let your child look and guess first. You ask open questions; only then the lines below the image.
Why this trilogy?
Much KidTech and AI content looks real. Children (and adults) quickly believe what is drawn prettily. This trilogy makes three checks visible: human or machine, what AI recognises, and does this image add up.
The same critical eye as co-creating at home — with ready-made examples, without your own prompt.
First trilogy: privacy
Want to practise first when something listens, watches or leaves a trail? That is the privacy trilogy: Listening eye, Face dot and Data crumbs.
