Project ARI

Follow the story of 10-year-old Ari, who’s the world’s first artificial intelligence prototype, as he tries to wrap his ‘data brain’ around the human experience. This series is funny and silly, with plenty of heart, and has been designed as a tool to help start meaningful conversations with kids about respectful behaviour.

If you’d like to continue the conversation about the importance of respect at home, The Conversation guide has tips to get you started: respect.gov.au/talking-about-respect/
