Taste testers beware – there’s a new ‘AI tongue’ which can apparently tell the different between Pepsi and Coca-Cola.
Researchers from Penn State, Pennsylvania, have said they have developed an electronic tongue that can identify the differences between the two fizzy drinks.
Scientists say the tongue is able to detect, classify and assess the freshness of food and drink and could be used to find contaminants in food that make consumers sick – including milk past its use-by date.
They have also created an algorithm within the tongue that mimics the thoughts of a human brain, helping it to become familiar with food tasting.
The new creation is made of graphene and chemical sensors that detect and measure the makeup of liquids and convert their findings into electronic signals.
During the research stages, the tongue was given different tasks to learn.
Scientists found that their creation could detect watered-down milk, different types of sodas, coffees and multiple …
