29 June 2025 - AI News Quiz for Adults

Welcome to our AI News Quiz for adults! This quiz dives into the most fascinating, surprising, and occasionally silly stories about artificial intelligence from the week of 23–29 June 2025. Whether you’ve been following the headlines or just want to see how much you’ve missed, you’re in the right place.

There are 10 multiple-choice questions, each based on a real news story from the past 7 days. You’ll get instant feedback on your answers, so don’t worry if you’re unsure—just guess and enjoy learning something new. From robot dogs busting a move to AI solving cold cases, there’s something for everyone.

So, put your thinking cap on (or ask your friendly AI assistant) and let’s see how much you really know about what’s happening in the world of AI!

1 .
What bizarre request did an AI accidentally send to a robot dog this week?
Fetch the newspaper
Perform a surprise dance routine
Act as the dog’s life coach
Serve a cup of tea
In a lighthearted mishap, an AI accidentally instructed a Boston Dynamics robot dog to break into a spontaneous dance routine. Engineers quickly corrected the glitch, but the incident underlines how even advanced AI can misinterpret commands—reminding us humans need to keep a close eye on them.
2 .
What unexpected impact has Google’s AI boom had on the environment?
It taught bees to code
It triggered a global avocado shortage
It caused a sharp rise in carbon emissions
It made office plants grow faster
Google reported a 51% increase in its carbon emissions—mostly due to the skyrocketing energy use of its AI systems. While AI offers powerful tools, this shows the environmental cost of powering huge data centres around the clock.
3 .
How is the NHS using its new “AI Airlock” programme?
To safely trial AI tools before full rollout
To block viruses with digital firewalls
To send chatbot doctors to rural areas
To install face-scanning vending machines in hospitals
The UK’s AI Airlock lets health tech companies test AI systems in a real-world NHS environment—without risking patient safety. It’s like a quarantine zone for code, giving promising tools a chance to prove themselves before being widely used.
4 .
What is one reason UK police are testing AI in cold case investigations?
To randomly reopen crimes from the 1800s
To generate new detective names
To find patterns in old evidence that humans might miss
To create TV scripts based on real files
Some UK police forces are using AI to scan through decades-old data in unsolved cases. The tech can identify patterns or overlooked leads, helping real investigators get fresh insights. It’s like digital forensics with a supercharged memory.
5 .
What concern are musicians raising about AI-generated songs?
They’re too catchy and addictive
They rely too much on disco beats
They copy artists without permission
They’re all about robots and have no soul
Musicians and industry groups are calling for clear regulations after discovering that AI systems can mimic real artists’ voices and styles without credit or consent. The concern isn’t just legal—it’s creative. Who owns a song when a robot writes it?
6 .
How did a UK classroom use AI in a creative writing project?
To turn historical speeches into haikus
To generate random lines of Shakespeare
To support students writing environmental poems
To argue with teachers over grammar rules
In a pilot programme, students used AI to help write poems about the environment. The AI offered rhymes, reworded clunky lines, and encouraged new ideas. It’s an example of how AI can support creativity without replacing human expression.
7 .
Why are UK researchers using AI to scan satellite images?
To find hidden carbon emissions across the globe
To track wildlife migration in real-time
To count how many rooftops have solar panels
To search for AI-generated crop circles
Researchers in the UK are applying AI to satellite data to detect carbon emissions that aren’t being reported. It’s a way to hold polluters accountable using evidence from space—like environmental whistleblowing from orbit.
8 .
Why are some UK schools adding AI to their summer programmes?
To replace revision with robot tutors
To teach students AI skills for future careers
To make exam hall invigilators more entertaining
To generate fake excuses for missed homework
As part of its AI talent strategy, the UK government is backing AI-focused summer programmes for young people. These courses aim to build skills in machine learning, ethics, and tech innovation—equipping the next generation for an AI-powered job market.
9 .
What innovative use of AI is helping UK universities improve fairness?
Letting students grade their own exams
Replacing essay feedback with emojis
Writing exam questions in riddles
Analysing grading bias across different student groups
Researchers at a UK university are using AI to analyse past exam data for signs of grading bias—whether by gender, school background or region. The idea is to improve fairness, not just speed up marking. Tech meets ethics in the exam hall.
10 .
What new application of predictive AI are UK police exploring?
Forecasting crime risk in specific areas
Writing reports using AI-generated slang
Using facial expressions to guess guilt
Replacing patrol cars with virtual drones
UK police are piloting predictive AI systems that analyse historical crime data to identify areas at higher risk for future incidents. Supporters say it could improve efficiency, while critics warn of bias if not used with care. It’s a powerful tool—if handled responsibly.
