4 .
A UK supermarket chain began testing AI in their car parks. What is the AI being used to do?
Spot people returning trolleys properly
Count shopping trolleys in the car park
Tell shoppers if their shoes are stylish
Predict how much people will spend
Starting on 30 May 2025, Morrisons began testing AI cameras in their car parks to check if people were returning their trolleys. It might sound dull, but it’s actually helpful—fewer runaway trolleys means less damage and fewer complaints, and it keeps things tidier for everyone.
5 .
An AI-generated film trailer recently went viral online. What made it so unusual?
It was made entirely by primary school students
It featured cats performing Shakespeare
The whole trailer was created using just text prompts
It lasted 7 hours and made no sense
A trailer that went viral on 28 May 2025 was made using nothing but written instructions fed into an AI tool—no actors, cameras, or editing software needed. The lifelike results sparked a lot of chatter about whether AI could one day change the way films are promoted.
6 .
Researchers in London used AI to spot something surprising in voice recordings. What was it?
Whether someone had recently eaten garlic
If someone was lying about their age
Early signs of Parkinson’s disease
Whether someone had sung in the shower that morning

7 .
Plans for a massive AI data centre in Lincolnshire raised eyebrows in the UK. What was the big concern?
It could create as much carbon pollution as five major airports
It would reduce mobile phone signals nearby
It would be built entirely underground
It would play pop music all day for workers
Plans revealed on 6 June 2025 showed that a new AI data centre in Lincolnshire might produce 850,000 tonnes of CO2 per year—about the same as five big airports. Environmental groups are worried it could make the UK’s climate goals much harder to reach.
8 .
A UK High Court judge issued a warning about AI in courtrooms. What was the risk?

Courtrooms might be monitored by AI cameras
AI could translate court verdicts into catchy jingles
