Cookie Bytes: RTÉ's first series dedicated to decoding AI

What happens when two curious identical 11-year-old twins, their tech-exploring dad, and a mischievous kitten named Cookie set out to unravel the mysteries of Artificial Intelligence?

The answer is Cookie Bytes - a new podcast from RTÉjr where Max and Sonny dive into the world of AI. And, it's a brave new world, but it holds no fear for this dynamic duo!

Listen to Episode 1 of Cookie Bytes and subscribe on RTÉ, Apple, Spotify and and it your Yoto Player.

Cookie Bytes, is not your typical tech podcast - it's a whistle stop tour through the landscape of smart machines, unexpected discoveries, and mind-bending possibilities! And RTÉ's first ever series dedicated to decoding AI.

Each episode transforms complex technological concepts into an adventure that jumps between street interviews, AI conversations, and expert challenges.

The lads popped into the RTÉ Cork studio to chat Dáithí and Maura this week too - press play up above to watch it now.

They get Professor Barry O'Sullivan to break down artificial intelligence for young explorers. Uncover the REAL world of AI with Dr. Emma Clarke. Dive deep with artist Nick Flanagan about AI's creative twist. Head to Blackrock Observatory to discover how computers might help us find aliens - and save our planet. Then time-travel through AI's evolution, featuring the voices of pioneers like George Boole (UCC's first math professor!), Ada Lovelace, and Alan Turing.

Whether you're a tech novice or a seasoned programmer, this podcast promises something new: a fresh, funny, and fearless look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping our world. Buckle up for unexpected detours, surprising insights, and a journey that proves learning can be as wild and wonderful as imagination itself!

Perfect for kids ages 8-12 who want to understand the technology shaping our future. So they can explain it to their adults. Listen, learn, and laugh!

Max and Sonny take the wheel on this podcast for kids!

Cookie Bytes is produced in RTÉ Cork. No twins, cats or dads were harmed in the making of this podcast, which was made by humans.
