The artificial agent in this cracking picture is Pepper the 2016 Social Robot, caught at the National Museum of Computing in Bletchley as he attempted the Turing Test on a 1940’s teleprinter!
The test was famously designed by Alan Turing to see if a computer could pass itself off as a human when responding to questions.
There are still plenty of things to get stuck into over at the National Museum of Computing this summer holiday.
Here are a few of our favourites that are coming up:
Saturday 13 to Wednesday 17 August
