Looking forward to the Multi-Agent Systems Symposium at @KingsCollegeLon today!
Also nice to see the @CCAIS_Soton team as an example MAS lab in the intro section!

Summary of the Turing tests we ran at #SOTSEF today:
Attendees had to guess if they were interacting with an AI or a human.
They were right 18 times and wrong 18 times.
Seems like AI is passing the test now!
Thanks to Beining and Fariba for running this.
Pitched the #SOTSEF audience against AI in a public lecture again. It’s getting closer - humans 5 vs AI 3.5!
As AI is moving on, are people still smarter than software? Visit us at #SOTSEF in Building 58 today and find out!
