1 .
What strange item did an AI-powered camera in Finland misidentify as a high-speed vehicle?
A pigeon flying past the lens
A runaway shopping trolley
A cyclist with balloons
A flying goose with a radar tag
In Finland, an AI-powered traffic camera triggered a speeding alert after misidentifying a pigeon flying by as a speeding vehicle. These kinds of false positives highlight the challenges of real-world object detection by AI, especially when systems are not properly calibrated or trained on edge cases.
2 .
What tool did NHS Scotland launch to help staff use AI responsibly?
A chatbot quiz on AI ethics
A digital handbook on AI governance
An AI-themed escape room
A robot that gives out compliance tips
NHS Scotland released a digital handbook to help staff navigate the ethical and regulatory aspects of using AI in clinical settings. It’s part of their broader efforts to prepare healthcare professionals for the increasing role of AI in diagnosis, patient management, and safety monitoring.
3 .
What did researchers in Cambridge teach AI to do using rats and mazes?
Design better hospital layouts
Predict decision-making patterns in humans
Play video games against rats
Spot early signs of dementia in rats
Cambridge researchers trained AI to analyse how rats learn in mazes, gaining insights into decision-making that could translate into understanding human brain processes. This fusion of neuroscience and AI could eventually lead to breakthroughs in behavioural prediction.
4 .
What did a UK AI safety group warn about this week?
AI models inventing fake scientific studies
Deepfake videos targeting local councillors
AI giving legal advice in TikTok comments
Chatbots crashing due to British slang
The UK AI Safety Institute issued an alert after large language models were shown to fabricate scientific research and citations. The warning stresses the importance of verifying AI-generated content and improving system transparency.
5 .
What is the UK Parliament exploring for future debates?
Using AI to check MPs' grammar
AI-powered audience polling
Real-time AI fact-checking tools
AI avatars to replace late MPs
The UK Parliament is considering real-time AI fact-checking for live debates. If adopted, this system could help keep discussions accurate and reduce the spread of misinformation. The technology is still under trial but has drawn cross-party interest.
6 .
Why did London police pull a facial recognition tool from deployment this week?
It had a 70% false match rate
It misidentified MPs as criminals
It refused to work in the rain
It wouldn’t scan faces wearing sunglasses
A facial recognition trial in London was paused after the system showed a 70% false match rate in high-traffic areas. Civil liberties groups and MPs raised serious concerns about accuracy and bias, prompting reassessment.
7 .
What breakthrough did researchers announce using AI and speech patterns?
Detecting lying by tone of voice
Predicting mood from Spotify playlists
Diagnosing early Parkinson’s through phone calls
Creating perfect bedtime story voices
New research showed that AI could help diagnose Parkinson’s Disease early by analysing subtle changes in speech patterns during phone calls. This could allow for quicker, non-invasive screening techniques and improve early interventions.
8 .
What problem did judges raise about AI in courtrooms?
AI falling asleep during trials
Robotic stenographers forgetting punctuation
AI refusing to process Scottish accents
AI summarising legal arguments inaccurately
Judges in England and Wales warned about AI tools misinterpreting legal documents and oversimplifying court arguments. The Judicial Council stated that while AI might assist with transcripts or summaries, it must not replace legal reasoning or judgement.
9 .
What did researchers at MIT use AI to do in ocean studies this week?
Teach dolphins to recognise their own names
Create a map of jellyfish migration
Analyse underwater soundscapes to detect illegal fishing
Communicate with whales using emojis
MIT researchers developed AI that listens to undersea audio and flags signs of illegal fishing, like the sound of trawling engines or anchor drops in restricted zones. This tool could become key to enforcing marine protection laws.
10 .
What is the UK Department for Transport testing in smart traffic systems?
Road paint that glows based on traffic
AI systems that text you traffic jokes
Smart cones that chase speeding cars
AI to reduce red-light waiting time
The Department for Transport began piloting AI-powered traffic lights that adjust in real-time to traffic flow, aiming to cut congestion and emissions. Early trials show a 20% reduction in idle time at major junctions.
