What Is Artificial Intelligence?

If you're aged 7 to 11, this quiz will help you understand what AI really is—without the boring bits!

Don’t worry, there’s nothing tricky or too technical. Each question is written in a fun, friendly way, with silly options to make you smile and smart answers to help you learn.

You might already be using AI without even knowing it—when you talk to a voice assistant, play a game that learns your moves, or watch videos that pop up just for you. This quiz will show you how it all works in a simple, fun way. Ready to get started?

1 .
What is Artificial Intelligence?
A robot that makes sandwiches for cats
A kind of magic used by wizards
A way for computers to do smart things like people
A video game that plays itself
Artificial Intelligence means computers or machines can do things that usually need human thinking—like answering questions or recognising pictures.
2 .
Which of these is a job that AI can help with?
Telling jokes to bananas
Drawing silly faces on your homework
Helping doctors find out what’s making someone sick
Blowing up balloons at a birthday party
AI can help doctors by looking at health information and spotting signs of illness more quickly and accurately than people sometimes can.
3 .
Which of these is an example of AI you might use at home?
A fridge that eats your leftovers
A TV remote that hides under the sofa
A voice assistant that answers your questions
A pet goldfish that can tap dance
Voice assistants like Alexa or Siri use AI to understand what you say and help answer your questions or play music.
4 .
What does AI need to learn new things?
A backpack full of pencils
A bunch of data and examples
A pair of sunglasses
A sandwich and a nap
AI learns by looking at lots of examples—like pictures, words, or numbers—so it can spot patterns and make smart guesses in the future.
5 .
How does AI usually “talk” to people?
By whispering through walls
By using words on a screen or voice
By sending smoke signals
By drawing pictures in the clouds
AI often communicates by talking out loud (like voice assistants) or by showing words and messages on a screen, so people can understand it.
6 .
Why do people use AI?
To help with jobs and make life easier
To turn socks into spaghetti
To chase away pigeons
To make their hair extra fluffy
People use AI to save time and effort—it can help with things like answering questions, finding information, or even driving cars.
7 .
Which of these is something AI can’t do (yet)?
Help you find a song you like
Help land an airplane safely
Understand when you’re feeling sad
Hug you like a friend
AI can do smart things, but it can’t give real hugs or feel emotions like people can—it doesn’t have a heart or arms!
8 .
Where might you see AI being used?
In a talking toy that answers your questions
Inside a watermelon
On the moon playing football
Hiding under your bed
Some toys now use AI to talk, learn your name, or even answer questions—it's one fun way kids might see AI in real life.
9 .
Which of these is not a good idea to let AI do on its own?
Suggest a new movie to watch
Help land an airplane safely
Decide what’s for dinner
Choose your school’s headteacher
AI can help with advice and information, but big decisions like picking a headteacher should be made by real people who understand feelings and fairness.
10 .
What makes AI different from a regular computer program?
It can learn and get better over time
It likes to play football on weekends
It runs out of battery really fast
It eats your homework if you’re not careful
AI isn’t just told what to do—it can learn from experience and improve, like how a person gets better at a game the more they play.
