Kids are not “less capable” because they grow up with AI—they’re AI-native. Just as Millennials were internet-native and Gen Z smartphone-native, today’s children will tinker, debug, and invent with AI the way we once did with BASIC prompts or early web pages. Our role is to give them the right tools, safe spaces, and ethical foundations so their creativity can flourish. We believe:
“The next generation will dive deep into code when they need to—but they’ll also wield AI fluently, viewing old workflows the way we saw fax machines.”
At AI Coding School we celebrate that future, teaching kids to code their vibe responsibly.
When Thomas is not enjoying time with his two kids, he’s active as co-founder and Chief Science Officer at Hugging Face and has spent the last decade turning cutting-edge AI research into open-source tools the whole world can use. He created the widely adopted Transformers and Datasets libraries, co-organised the BigScience workshop that produced the BLOOM model, and co-authored Natural Language Processing with Transformers (O’Reilly). Thomas’s passion is lowering the barrier between academia and industry so the next generation can build on truly open science—exactly the spirit that powers AI Coding School.
