Public education project
Robot Explains the Internet, Cybersecurity, and AI
A growing visual curriculum that makes the web, cybersecurity, and AI safety understandable for curious kids and non-technical adults.
Why this exists
Security advice often fails because it assumes people already understand the system. Robot Explains starts earlier. What is a URL? What is a password manager? What is an AI prompt? Why should I care about the padlock icon? Each poster gives people a simple mental model they can remember, before they need it.
For me, this project is part of the same integration thesis behind my security work: trustworthy systems require more than good engineering. They require clear communication, usable mental models, and safety concepts that real people can understand and act on.
Sample posters
A curated sample across the web, online safety, and AI. The full, growing library lives at robotexplains.ai.
Curriculum tracks
The library is organized into learning tracks, each a set of friendly explainers that build on each other.
Web Basics
How websites, browsers, URLs, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, servers, databases, and APIs work.
Explore the track →Stay Safe Online
Passwords, MFA, scams, phishing, social engineering, downloads, attachments, QR codes, and safe browsing.
Explore the track →AI Basics
Prompts, tokens, training data, LLMs, machine learning, RAG, hallucinations, and AI agents.
Explore the track →Responsible AI
Privacy, sensitive information, bias, fact-checking, human review, guardrails, and AI safety.
Explore the track →Advanced track: OWASP Top 10 for LLMs
A kid-friendly visual interpretation of the OWASP LLM security risks, designed to make AI application security concepts easier to discuss with developers, students, and non-specialists. See the set →
Professional relevance
Robot Explains is not separate from my security work. It is a communication layer for it. Whether the audience is a board, a product team, a SOC analyst, a parent, or a student, the job is the same: turn complex risk into clear decisions.
- Translates technical risk into usable mental models.
- Bridges cloud, web, cyber, and AI-safety concepts.
- Supports security awareness without fear-based messaging.
- Demonstrates public communication, curriculum design, and AI-assisted creative production.
- Complements my research into frontier cyber risk, AI safety evaluations, and model behavior boundaries.
