15 June 2025 - AI News Quiz for Children Aged 11-14 Years Old

This is your chance to test what you know about the latest and greatest news in the world of Artificial Intelligence! This quiz is designed for children aged 11 to 14 and is based on real news stories from the past week.

Don’t worry if you’re not sure of the answers—just take a guess! You’ll find out if you were right after every question, and you might be surprised at what you learn.

From smart weather forecasting to schools battling AI-powered cheating, AI is showing up in all kinds of places. Let’s see how many stories you recognise!

1 .
What surprising thing happened with UK university students and AI this week?
Students caught cooking robots dinner
Students taught AI to paint classrooms
Thousands got caught using AI to cheat on assignments
A robot graduated instead of a student
Over 7,000 UK university students were caught using tools like ChatGPT to cheat on assignments during the 2023–24 academic year, up sharply from the year before and prompting universities to rethink assessment methods.
2 .
What did researchers warn UK data centres have been consuming a lot more of this week?
Water to keep AI servers cool
Power-sippy cups for robots
Chocolate to motivate the machines
Extra internet bandwidth for cat videos
England’s Environment Agency warned that AI-powered data centres are consuming huge volumes of water for cooling, potentially causing a daily shortfall of 5 billion litres by 2055 if unregulated.
3 .
How is the UK Met Office using AI this week to improve weather forecasts?
Teaching clouds how to speak
Making forecasts more detailed and faster
Asking AI to guess if it’s sunny
Scanning raindrops for secret messages
The Met Office is trialling AI systems—like “FastNet”—that generate high-resolution (down to 100m) weather forecasts and speed up prediction processing.
4 .
What new tool did the UK AI Safety Institute launch to guide safe tech use?
An AI Playbook for government use
A superhero AI costume kit
A singing chatbot with rules
Glow-in-the-dark robot helmets
The UK Government published the “AI Playbook” on GOV.UK—practical guidelines for civil servants and public sector groups to deploy AI safely, responsibly, and with human oversight.
5 .
What did a major UK survey reveal most people want before kids use new AI apps?
More cool features and fun characters
Free access to every school
Safety checks before the apps are released
Robot voices that sound like their teachers
An NSPCC/YouGov poll showed that 78% of UK adults support mandatory safety checks on AI products for children—even if it delays their launch.
6 .
How did the UK government say AI could help children with learning difficulties?
Turning lessons into cartoons
Creating robot study buddies
Supporting dyslexic learners with tailored help
Teaching pets how to do homework
Science Secretary Peter Kyle—himself dyslexic—highlighted that AI can personalize learning support for dyslexic children, acting like an “incredible tutor.”
7 .
What unusual step did a UK university take to fight AI-based cheating this week?
Replacing essays with robot dance-offs
Asking students to swear on code books
Bringing back handwritten exams for some courses
