Google's Nested Learning 101

A LEGO Superheroes Guide to Smarter AI Thinking

Imagine a group of LEGO superheroes facing missions that require planning in layers. One hero scouts the terrain. Another maps the risks. A third builds the route. All these steps connect. None of them works alone. This is Nested Learning in action.

Google uses this layered thinking to help AI break problems into parts, solve those parts in sequence, and combine them into stronger results

About the Book

This short book introduces Google's Nested Learning through the eyes of a LEGO superhero team. Each sectopm turns a core idea in modern AI into a simple story you can remember. You follow heroes who plan, retry, combine skills, and learn from each step. Their missions mirror how Nested Learning works inside Google systems, from structured reasoning to layered decision making.

The book is made for beginners, founders, students, and anyone who wants a quick mental model for how AI can solve problems in organised layers. Instead of dense diagrams, it uses scenes you can picture. A tower under attack becomes an analogy for multi step reasoning. A team rescue mission becomes a lesson in coordinated task planning. By the end, readers walk away with a practical feel for how modern AI utilized Nested Learningn.

Two things guide the writing. First, clarity. Second, imagination. The story is light enough to read in one sitting and strong enough to make you rethink how machines plan.

About the Author

Adrian Dunkley

Adrian Dunkley has spent fifteen years working in AI and decision sciences, building a career defined by curiosity, precision, and a steady commitment to practical impact. His work blends explainable AI, innovation, decision sciences, data sciences, and science education into a single philosophy he calls Artful Intelligence. He writes for readers who want ideas they can apply, not theories that sit on a shelf.

He serves on the National AI Task Force, is a member of the Forbes Technology Council, was named Caribbean AI Innovator of the Year, and holds the title of EY Entrepreneur of the Year. These honours reflect a career of consistent contribution across sectors and a reputation for helping organisations use intelligence systems with confidence and clarity.

Adrian is the founder of StarApple AI, the first AI startup in the Caribbean. He has created more than 150 AI products, delivered an average ROI of 5, and trained more than 1,000 people across the region. His portfolio spans finance, crime prevention, climate studies, tourism, sport, neuromarketing, and creative industries. These experiences give him a view of how AI behaves in the real world, from national risk models used by hundreds of thousands to sports engines that help athletes refine their technique, to neuromarketing labs that reveal how people make decisions.

His writing echoes this range. Readers find clear explanations, grounded examples, and insights that tie science to action. He focuses on explainable AI techniques that support transparency, innovation practices that help teams move ideas forward, and decision tools that improve judgement under pressure. His aim is simple. Give people the confidence to use AI thoughtfully in any workplace.

Adrian believes intelligence is a craft shaped through learning and shared understanding. His books guide readers to stronger thinking, sharper design, and ideas that endure.
