Learn: AI explained for whoever you are

Plain-English, UK-only, free, ad-free, fact-checked. Pick the route that fits. Nothing here will pretend to be more certain than it is.

Last updated: 8 May 2026

Coming soon. The Learning Library is being built now. Each guide below will be a six-page PDF you can read on your phone, with a five-minute video and (for the children’s, parents’ and older-adults’ guides) an Easy Read version. To be told when each is published, subscribe to FAIR Briefings.

For primary-age children (7-11)

Primary

Robots, computers and you

A six-page illustrated guide for parents to read with their children, plus a printable activity sheet. Aligned to the Department for Education’s Generative AI in Education policy paper.

For secondary-age teens (11-16)

Secondary

AI in your phone, your school, your future

A 20-minute self-paced explainer with a sceptical-thinking checklist. Aligned to JCQ’s April 2025 AI in Assessments guidance and KCSIE 2026.

For 16-18 year olds and university students

Students

How to use AI without losing the skills your degree is supposed to give you

Written with input from Russell Group academics, mapped to the Russell Group’s five principles on generative AI in education. Includes a clear summary of when AI use becomes academic malpractice.

For working adults

Workplace

AI at work: your rights and your risks

Covers automated decisions in employment under the new UK GDPR Articles 22A-D (in force 5 February 2026), AI in recruitment, AI monitoring, copyright in AI-generated work, and the right to a human in the loop.

For parents and carers

Parents

What your child is doing with AI, and how to talk to them about it

Built on Ofcom’s Online Nation 2025 findings (79% of online 13-17 year olds and 40% of 7-12 year olds now use generative AI; Snapchat My AI most-used at 51% of online 7-17s), and the IWF’s 2026 Harm Without Limits report.

For older adults

Older adults

AI without the panic

A practical guide to spotting AI-generated scams (Ofcom found only 9% of UK adults are confident they could spot a deepfake), to AI in NHS letters and DWP correspondence, and to using AI tools safely if you want to.

Linked statistic: 76% of UK teachers are now using AI for daily work, but 49% of schools have no AI policy at all. Source: National Education Union, State of Education 2026.

Accessibility and translation

The children’s, parents’ and older-adults’ guides will be available in Easy Read format. Welsh translations of the children’s, teens’ and parents’ guides are planned (Welsh Language Act 1993 considerations once FAIR is operating in Wales).
