Which gadget at a big tech show started rallying real tennis balls with people—basically upstaging the ball machine?
An AI tennis robot called Acemate that rallies back
A fridge that shouts “Out!”
A toaster with line-judging lasers
Smart shoelaces that tie on a forehand
At IFA Berlin, the “Acemate” robot played proper rallies against human volunteers, reading spin and speed to return shots—more like a hitting partner than a serving machine. Reporters said it felt surprisingly real, hinting at new ways AI and robotics could coach sports.

England’s new “Keeping Children Safe in Education” guidance added tech risks schools should teach about. Which one?
Mandatory VR PE lessons
3D-printed homework
Quantum messaging in maths class
AI deepfakes, online misinformation and filtering/monitoring updates

4 .
A new pilot wants to grow spuds with fewer chemicals using AI. What’s the project called?
GreenGrow 2.0
FIRST Potato project
SoilSmart AI pilot initiative
AgriFuture Labs
The FIRST Potato pilot brings together UK partners with EIT Food and Cropin to test AI and data tools that cut fertiliser and pesticide use while keeping yields strong. It’s a real-world trial to make potato farming more planet-friendly without hurting farmers’ incomes.
5 .
The Met Office unveiled a new machine-learning model for long-range forecasts. What’s it called?
Climate Genie
RainBot 5000
ACE2 seasonal forecasting model
FutureCast
Met Office scientists introduced ACE2, a data-driven system that blends physics and machine learning to predict climate patterns seasons ahead. In tests, ACE2 improved on traditional models for ENSO-linked signals, suggesting AI could sharpen drought and rainfall planning.
6 .
Scientists ran AI on Italy’s restless Campi Flegrei volcano. What surprising thing did it spot?
Hidden lava dolphins
A secret ice cave
A brand-new crater
Four times more tiny quakes than older methods
Using AI to sift seismic data, researchers uncovered about 4× more micro-earthquakes and mapped previously unseen faults, revealing how ground uplift and stress swarms are linked. It doesn’t predict an eruption, but it gives volcanologists a sharper picture.
7 .
Which UK supermarket began an eight-week live facial-recognition trial in two stores to deter violent shoplifters?
Tesco
Waitrose & Partners
Sainsbury’s
Morrisons
Sainsbury’s is testing Facewatch in Sydenham (London) and Oldfield Park (Bath) to flag repeat offenders tied to theft or abuse. Non-matches are deleted immediately, the retailer says. Supporters cite staff safety; critics warn about privacy and misidentification risks.
8 .
What did NHS England roll out to every stroke centre to speed up life-saving decisions?
An AI CT brain-scan tool
Robot nurses in ambulances
Smart bandages for wrists
A VR rehab headset
All 107 stroke centres in England now use AI that analyses CT brain scans in about a minute, cutting door-to-treatment time from ~140 to ~79 minutes. Early analysis links it to a jump in patients leaving with little or no disability—from 16% to 48%.
9 .
OpenAI announced new protections for teen users of ChatGPT. What’s the headline feature?
Unlimited late-night chatting
Free premium for students
Parental controls that link accounts and send “acute distress” alerts
Mandatory weekly screen-time essays
OpenAI said parents will be able to link accounts, set age-appropriate rules, manage memory/chat history, and receive notifications if the system detects a teen in acute distress—part of a broader 120-day safety push. Reporting followed the company’s own blog.
10 .
What share of UK lawyers now say they use generative AI in their day-to-day work, according to new research?
Approximately 61%—about three fifths
About 20%
Close to 90%
Roughly 40%
LexisNexis’s AI Culture Clash report found 61% of UK legal professionals now use gen-AI, up from 46% in January. Adoption is rising fast, but many firms say culture and governance lag behind, slowing full integration into workflows.
