HOW (NOT) TO GET HIT BY A SELF-DRIVING CAR
Can you beat the AI? This fun, physical game challenges players to make it to the finish line without being detected by an AI-powered camera. A collaboration between Tomo Kihara and Playfool, this was a huge hit at Playable City in Bristol earlier this year, so we’re delighted to bring it to Science Gallery London. Watch the trailer >

COULD AN AI BE YOUR BOSS ONE DAY?
There’s plenty of fear-mongering about AI taking our jobs, but how will this technology really affect work culture? Exploring these questions are Anna Codrea-Rado, host of the podcast Is This Working?; Nick Srnicek, senior lecturer in digital economy at King’s and author of Platform Capitalism, Inventing the Future and After Work; and Shyam Krishna, the engineer-turned-researcher who spent six months undercover as a delivery driver to explore automation in the gig economy.

AI GAMES
Join King's AI researcher Mike Cook to learn about iNNk - a drawing game designed by AI researchers at the IT University of Copenhagen, where a team of humans have to guess what someone is drawing before their AI opponent can. It's a lot harder than it looks - in fact, the researchers behind the game studied how humans try to cheat at it and made some adjustments to make it harder! See if you're a good enough artist to beat the AI by coming along and trying out the game for yourself.
