1 .
What clever new trick did robots get with help from a model called Cosmos Reason?
Think about the rules of physics so they don’t bump into things
Grow shiny metal hair to boost Wi-Fi
Taste-test crisps to see which flavour is yummiest
Learn to purr like cats to calm people
On August 11, 2025, NVIDIA introduced Cosmos Reason, an AI that helps robots understand cause and effect, plan steps, and avoid clumsy accidents. It’s about common sense for robots—not hair, crisps, or purring!
2 .
What new AI feature is YouTube planning that could help make sure kids see the right videos for their age?
A mood-sensing emoji that makes your videos happier
A spell-checker for your thoughts before you say them
A robot that reads bedtime stories while you sleep
An AI that guesses your age from what you search and watch
YouTube began testing AI age checks in mid-August 2025. It looks at search and viewing habits to estimate age and give children safer content. Wrong guesses can be corrected with ID—not bedtime robots or emojis!
3 .
What new AI tool did the BBC announce to help people understand the news more easily?
An app that guesses the weather by smelling the air
A hologram that jumps out of the TV with the headlines
An AI that makes short, simple news summaries
A robot that sings the news in opera style

Why did the UK government get into hot water over a new data centre for AI?
Because the data centre was shaped like a giant robot dog
Because it was approved on green-belt land that’s meant to be protected
Because it accidentally blocked everyone’s TV signals
Because it secretly stored 10 million ice creams inside
On August 21, 2025, Deputy PM Angela Rayner approved a huge data centre on protected green-belt land. Critics argue the decision threatens the countryside, even though it’s meant to boost AI capacity.

A $1 million prize for the best AI tool to study the illness
A computer game where you play as a giant neuron
A robot chef that cooks brain-shaped pancakes
