This Parent Q&A sheet is designed to support you in teaching the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at home. Many young people are fascinated by AI, but also a little unsure about it — especially when they hear stories about robots taking over the world. This Q&A breaks down the facts clearly and simply, giving you confidence to answer your child’s questions.

It explains how AI works, what it can and can’t do, and why the idea of an AI takeover is more fiction than fact. The questions will help you have open conversations, encourage deeper thinking, and explore the real ways AI is shaping the world. As with all our home education resources, you can use this flexibly — as a one-off discussion, a project starting point, or alongside the full AI lesson plan.
