1 .
What did a robot in Wales do this week that made people giggle?
It baked a cake and fed it to a seagull
It taught llamas to line dance
It took over as a co-presenter on a children’s TV show
It ran for mayor of Cardiff
The BBC tested a robot co-presenter on the children’s TV show Blue Peter. The robot used AI to respond to questions, tell jokes, and even introduce parts of the show. It’s part of the BBC’s experiments with AI in broadcasting and engaging younger viewers.
2 .
What new feature is Google testing to help teenagers using AI search?
A smart hat that whispers answers during exams
AI answers that come with topic glossaries and extra links
A chatbot that only speaks in rhymes
AI search that rewards users with pizza
Google is trialling new AI features designed for teens. These include glossaries, images, and interactive links to help young users better understand search results. It’s part of an effort to make AI safer, more informative, and age-appropriate for teenage audiences.
3 .
What kind of training did UK government workers get this week?
Courses on how to use generative AI tools safely
AI that teaches kung fu in break rooms
Lessons from a robot called Sir Bureaucracy
TikTok dances to explain data laws
The UK Civil Service rolled out generative AI training to help workers understand how to use tools like ChatGPT responsibly. The focus was on improving productivity while avoiding risks like misinformation or biased results.
4 .
What are UK scientists using AI to spot earlier in pregnant women?
If the baby will like broccoli
Signs of high blood pressure during pregnancy
If twins will arrive riding scooters
What music makes babies dance
Researchers at Oxford University Hospitals and the University of Nottingham are using AI models to predict pre-eclampsia, a dangerous pregnancy condition, earlier than current methods. This can help doctors step in faster to protect mums and babies.
5 .
What did OpenAI and the UK government agree to do together?
Let AI decide which biscuits belong in Parliament
Launch a national AI poetry contest
Help train government AI systems more safely
Give robots parking spaces in London
OpenAI and the UK government have formed a partnership to test future AI models safely, including systems that could one day be used in public services. This aims to keep AI helpful, safe, and secure as it becomes more advanced.
6 .
What did NHS hospitals begin piloting this week to reduce administrative time?
A robot that offers tea to patients
An AI dashboard that predicts where needed staff should be
AI-powered “ambient scribes” that transcribe consultations
An AI dashboard that guesses lunch orders
Oxford University Hospitals began testing AI-powered ambient scribes in late July. These systems listen to conversations between doctors and patients and automatically turn them into clinical notes—saving time and improving accuracy.
7 .
What did researchers in Cambridge create using AI and biology?
A mini brain grown in a lab that learns with AI
A thinking jellyfish with glasses
A banana that recites Shakespeare
A grasshopper that plays video games
Scientists from the University of Cambridge created a tiny “brain-on-a-chip” by combining lab-grown human brain cells with AI. The cells learned to solve simple tasks, giving clues to how brains might work with machines in the future.
8 .
What new AI tool is Spotify testing for music fans?
A playlist builder that knows your snack preferences
Music that only dogs can hear
AI karaoke where the mic rates your singing
An AI DJ that chats between songs
Spotify has expanded its AI DJ feature to more countries, including the UK. The DJ talks between songs, makes recommendations, and uses AI to guess what you’ll want to hear next—like having your own radio host made of code.
9 .
What AI tool are researchers testing to spot wildfires earlier?
A robot with a watering can and a fireman’s hat
A drone that smells for smoke and sneezes
A chatbot that interviews forest animals
An AI model that detects wildfire smoke from space
Scientists at the European Space Agency and NASA are testing AI tools that analyse satellite images to spot wildfire smoke faster than humans can. Early detection could help countries stop fires before they grow out of control.
10 .
What UK university deal was led by a billionaire to build AI-powered education global reach?
A $1?billion stake in Arden University to use AI to translate curricula into 150+ languages and tutor students
An AI lab opening in a mothballed steelworks in Teesside
A chatbot that helps applicants choose their fountain pen
A robot campus that teaches maths with dancing holograms
Former SoftBank executive Marcelo Claure led a $1?billion acquisition of a 50% stake in Arden University. The goal? Use AI to translate learning materials into 150+ languages and help tutor students across the globe.
