I am Anjali Jayaraman. I am in Grade 6. I created this E-Zine Codebotics because I love Coding and want to share fun things with everyone who wants to learn coding. You can share stuff you know as well. Let's explore Codebotics! CodeBotics is also a Coding Club where kids get to explore the wide world of Technology. We will get to explore the basics of programming, collaborate with each other and solve problems in computing.
What is a Turing Test?
Which is the first self-learning computer game?
CAPTCHA is an acronym. Can you expand it?
HELLO WORLD!
But most of all, having fun is the motto of CodeBotics
LEARN, CREATE, SHARE What is a Bombe? (No, I did not spell it wrong)

Is AI becoming a Frankenstein? Is AI becoming Frankenstein? Well here are my thoughts: What I know about Frankenstein? Mary Shelly’s book is about a young man named Viktor Frankenstein who wanted to bring the dead back to life. He assembled a dead man’s body parts together. After that there was good news and bad news - The good news was that the experiment worked, he brought the dead human back to life! The bad news was that the now undead human went rogue! Now the creation (Frankenstein) was starting to wreak havoc on the creator (Viktor). What I know about AI? There are no clear definitions of AI but it refers to (trying) to simulate human intelligence in machines. I said “trying to” because we’re only at the stage of Narrow AI, where machines can do only one task at a time. So we are nowhere close to Broad AI, where machines can do multiple tasks like a human. Example: Me trying to take water from the fridge, listening to music and answering my mom’s ranting, all at the same time All of us can do this without even thinking about it but try to make an AI machine do this, NO CHANCE. Maybe in the future but definitely not now. So calm down, we’re not going to get overrun by AI…..yet.
