A Friendly Introduction to Artificial Intelligence Through Cartoon Characters and Quality Storytelling
One of the things I enjoy about running AI123.ca is discovering new ways to help people understand artificial intelligence.
Learning about AI does not have to be complicated. It does not require a technical background, programming knowledge, or an advanced understanding of computers. Sometimes, all we need is a good teacher who can explain unfamiliar ideas in simple language.
Recently, I came across an educational programme called AI is Easy, created by Alex Poolman and his team. After exchanging a few emails with them, I was invited to watch their first lesson free of charge.
I took the opportunity, watched the video, and came away with a very good impression.
Learning Through Cartoons and Good Storytelling
What caught my attention was the presentation.
Instead of relying on complicated technical explanations, the lesson uses cartoon characters and quality narration to introduce artificial intelligence in an approachable way.
The cartoon characters make the presentation friendly and engaging. The narration is clear, and the overall production quality is good.
I particularly appreciated the healthy, educational nature of the content. The presentation style is suitable for younger audiences, including children, while its simple explanations can also appeal to adults who are just beginning their AI journey.
This is an important point.
Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life. Children, parents, grandparents, and older adults all have something to gain from understanding this technology.
Why should learning about AI feel intimidating?
A Different Approach to AI Education
There are many AI tutorials available online. Some are excellent, but others move too quickly or assume that viewers already understand technical terminology.
AI is Easy takes a more accessible approach.
Its ten-lesson programme is designed to introduce AI concepts progressively, using friendly characters and straightforward explanations.
I have only watched the first lesson, so I cannot yet comment on the complete programme. Nevertheless, the introductory lesson gave me a positive impression of its teaching approach.
For anyone curious about the programme, the first lesson is available free of charge without signing up.

Why I Am Introducing It to AI123.ca
AI123.ca was created with a simple purpose: to make artificial intelligence easier to understand and more practical to use.
My particular interest has always been helping seniors and everyday users become comfortable with AI.
As someone who is now 80 years old, I understand that feeling of encountering something new and wondering whether it is too complicated to learn.
My own experience has taught me something important: the best way to learn AI is to start using it.
I use ChatGPT regularly for writing, research, organizing ideas, and maintaining my curiosity. More recently, I have also been exploring how ChatGPT and Claude can work together to improve productivity.
However, learning does not have to begin with advanced tools or complicated exercises. A good introductory educational video can be an excellent starting point.
That is why I believe AI is Easy deserves a place among the learning resources introduced through AI123.ca.
An Invitation to Explore
I would encourage parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone interested in introducing AI to beginners to take a look at the free first lesson.
You do not have to commit to a course or make a purchase. Simply watch the introductory video and decide whether the presentation suits your learning interests.
For me, discovering useful educational resources is part of the ongoing journey of exploring and learning about AI.
I am pleased to introduce AI is Easy as a new addition to the AI123.ca learning resources.
One final thought:
Artificial intelligence is not just for computer experts or young technology enthusiasts. It is a subject that people of every generation can explore.
Whether you are eight or eighty, curiosity is a wonderful place to start.
Happy learning!
