Amber Ivey (AI)

Hi, I’m Amber Ivey, also known as "AI", and I’m passionate about making AI fun, safe, and accessible for kids. I’ve spent my career working at the intersection of data, law, technology, and public policy, helping governments and organizations make better decisions to responsibly improve lives. As a Vice President at a national nonprofit, I lead teams that help governments drive impact in communities. My work at Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Center for Government Excellence at Johns Hopkins University and The Pew Charitable Trusts focused on helping leaders use data to solve real-world challenges.


But my biggest mission? Empowering the next generation to be creators, not just consumers, of AI. That’s why I founded AiDigiTales, an award-winning edutainment company dedicated to teaching kids about AI through books, animation, and hands-on learning. My bestselling book, AI... Meets... AI, has been taught in classrooms across the country, and I’ve expanded my work into a podcast, an animated series, and interactive courses.


I’ve taught AI for Kids sessions in elementary and middle schools, introducing young learners to AI through storytelling, creativity, and hands-on projects. Watching kids light up when they realize they can use AI to enhance their creativity has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.


Now, I’m bringing this live, interactive experience directly to you through this two-week online cohort! In this course, kids will have the time, tools, and guidance to imagine, create, and bring their ideas to life—while building confidence and critical thinking skills in an AI-driven world.


This isn’t just about learning AI—it’s about unlocking creativity, problem-solving, and future-ready skills. I can’t wait to explore, create, and innovate with your child!
