Which UK military innovation uses AI to quickly link drones, radios, and sensors?
A robot parrot for coded messages
The “Digital Targeting Web” project
Tanks programmed to dance routines
An AI that grows camouflage trees
At the RUSI Land Warfare Conference, UK defence leaders unveiled a £1?billion “Digital Targeting Web”. This AI network shares data in real time across drones, radios, and sensors—making missions faster and safer.
3 .
What breakthrough might help doctors spot rare genetic diseases?
AI that listens to heartbeats and sings lullabies
A chatbot that diagnoses based on emoji use
An AI that matches patient photos with genetic data
Virtual reality glasses that scan people’s DNA
Scientists introduced an AI that analyses facial features to hint at potential genetic disorders. It could dramatically speed up diagnosis for families who might otherwise wait years.
4 .
Which unexpected task can the Sheffield hospital robot now do?
Delivering meals while whistling show tunes
Dancing in operating theatres
Reading bedtime stories to patients
Running samples between hospital wings
Engineers at the University of Sheffield unveiled a four-legged robot that automatically transports medical samples across hospital departments—saving staff time and reducing fatigue.
5 .
What new testing method is the UK AI Safety Institute using?
They made the AIs play dodgeball
They created realistic national security challenges
They fed the AI nothing but bad dad jokes
They asked AI to make prank calls to Parliament
The AI Safety Institute is now stress-testing models with realistic national security scenarios. This helps reveal bugs or flaws before the algorithms are used in critical systems.
6 .
Which industry did a UK report say is most likely to be disrupted by AI?
Accountancy and financial services
Ice-cream truck drivers
Post-apocalyptic movie production
