Kids’ Science for Solar Eclipse with AI

Wednesday 12th August bring a solar eclipse. In UK it’s not a total eclipse, but will be about 90% totality. My adoption of AI and expertise has increased massively over the last year, to an extent where I am finding plenty of innovative uses of AI. Viewing a solar eclipse safely is crucial, no one should ever look directly at the sun. But AI gives a lot of potential for maximising your viewing experience. With ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, amongst others, there is a lot you can do for free. With children now on summer holidays, it’s a great opportunity to get experience of AI (together?), build a safe viewing option, and hopefully have a great time.
