Believing that our future lies in the hands of new generations, I have actively participated in various initiatives over the past few years, including Teach the Future, a movement for future literacy, and Design for Change, which is based on empowering young people in Design Thinking to solve their own challenges. In light of National Children's Book Day this week, I would like to bring some reflections on the topic, especially in a world where AI will play a predominant role in the new economy and reading is losing its appeal among younger generations. In this article, we will explore three scenarios that can revolutionize the way we think about children's books in the AI-driven era.
Human Authors and AI: In a future dominated by AI, we may witness the emergence of a unique collaboration between human authors and AI-driven writing assistants. This partnership can lead to the creation of a new genre of children's literature, seamlessly combining human creativity and empathy with AI's analytical power. Imagine a world where the storytelling process is enhanced by AI algorithms, which can analyze large volumes of data to identify trends, preferences, and learning styles. This fusion of human ingenuity and machine intelligence can lead to the creation of engaging and captivating stories that enthrall young minds and encourage a love for reading.
2. The Customizable Literary Experience
In the age of the AI-driven economy, personalization will be crucial to reignite children's interest in books. A potential scenario is the development of customizable children's literature, where stories are adapted to meet each child's individual preferences, needs, and interests. Harnessing the power of AI, these personalized books can adapt to a child's reading level and learning style, while allowing them to choose their favorite genres, characters, and plots. This level of personalization can transform reading from a passive experience into an interactive journey, making it more appealing to a generation used to immersive digital content.
3. The Gamification of Reading
To compete with the instant gratification and entertainment offered by video games and social media, children's literature could evolve to become more engaging and interactive. One possibility is the gamification of reading, where books are transformed into interactive missions and challenges that inspire young readers to embark on literary adventures. Incorporating gameplay and competition elements, these gamified books can offer children a sense of accomplishment and progression, making reading more enjoyable and rewarding. In this future, AI could play a crucial role in creating dynamic and responsive narratives that adapt to children's choices and decisions, allowing them to influence the outcome of the story and foster a deeper connection with the reading experience.

In conclusion, the rise of AI and the decline of reading interest among children may seem like a daunting challenge, but these three scenarios demonstrate the potential of technology to revitalize children's literature. By embracing AI capabilities, human ingenuity, and the growing demand for personalized and interactive content, we can create a future where children are once again captivated by the magic of reading. With these changes, children's literature can reinvent and adapt to the needs and expectations of younger generations, allowing them to experience the joy and enrichment that reading can provide. The key to success will be finding the right balance between technological innovation and preserving the human essence that makes children's literature so special and meaningful.
