Discover how to persuade others of your humanity 🤖 Were you at the King's AI Festival Family Day? If so, you might have submitted a word for our "Minimal Turing Test", where we tried to find the most convincingly human words! The results hold some suprises 👇 www.kcl.ac.uk/ai-festival-... #ai

Today in STEM outreach - reusing my clothes dryers and ladder to make a mass red cabbage indicator paper factory.

Great family day at the @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Festival of AI! Children tried a mini turing test, choosing one word to prove they are human. Of course skibidi appeared! We also built a simple image recognition AI, which detected drawings of cats and (sometimes) dogs. @kingsnmes.bsky.social

Inspiring to hear from students succeeding in life thanks to this amazing scholarship programme! www.kcl.ac.uk/news/from-im...
