After his parents were killed in an auto accident, he\u2019s cycled through nine foster homes and now lives in Denver with a taciturn divorcee, Mrs. Bettye, who may or may not like him. With such extensive experience he has a pretty good idea what it takes to get adopted\u2014no fighting, pranks, or detentions, no letters from the principal, always polite, awesome but not boasty\u2014i.e., perfection. He\u2019s not confident, but since reading an article on a library computer titled \u201cLucky Foster Kid Gets Forever Home,\u201d his \u201cprefrontal cortex has been obsessed\u2014O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D\u201d with earning a family before reaching the cutoff age of 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, being the new kid at his umpteenth middle school (Shirley Chisolm Charter, or SCC) automatically makes him weird and a bully target. This year may be different though; SCC has been chosen as a test school for a new AI teaching robot: a Forensically Reimagined Anticipatory Nana Cerebral Integrated System, or FRANCIS. This is a robot with a mechanical face and instant response to any question or situation. FRANCIS\u2019s developer promises that the machine can deliver top test scores on Colorado\u2019s annual assessment test with the acronym B-CAUSE (read the book to get the full title). Malcolm and another kid nicknamed Tank are randomly selected to usher FRANCIS from one classroom to the next, an exhausting chore during which they find themselves best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine appears benign at first but soon shows a conniving streak. Is it merely trying to boost test scores, or replace human teachers? Can students really learn in a test-oriented classroom, or are they just learning to repeat correct answers? Even more ominous: Is FRANCIS trying to meddle in Malcolm\u2019s personal life? The narrative deck is stacked against FRANCIS, as readers will soon realize. Anyway, who wants to be taught by a robot? <em>The AI Incident<\/em> makes a strong case against machine learning, while creating a winning character in Malcolm and sifting in plenty of humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-considerations-none\">Considerations: none<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> \u00a0A fun but thoughtful take on the intrusion of AI on human life and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading-from-redeemed-reader\">Related Reading From Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reviews:<\/strong> Another recent book for this age group looking at AI and education is <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/schoolbot-9000-a-graphic-novel-by-sam-hepburn\/\">Schoolbot 9000: A Graphic Novel<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.
