Royal Institution
Adventures in AI
Artificial Intelligence is all around us. It’s in our phones, designing new drugs, and even creating art.
But how much do you actually know about AI? What exactly is it, and how does it work?
Join the Royal Institution Demo Team as they unravel the myths behind AI through a live Turing Test, explosive experiments, and even a game of tic-tac-toe.
You’ll explore how AI is based on human brains and learns just like us. You’ll even explore the mind-boggling scale of data used to train AI chatbots, and how this helps AI turn words into art.
Once you know the truth behind AI, you’ll never see it the same way again!
Subjects covered:
- artificial intelligence
- neural networks
- AI created words and imagery
- machine learning
- supervised and unsupervised learning
- reinforcement learning
