Can you guess who this is... as a cat? Meet the newest addition to your morning routine: The Purring Test, the first game by TED. Designed as a playful way to help players gain insight into how AI and Large Language Models "think", The Purring Test asks, "Can you get inside the mind of an AI cat?" Play it today and learn more about TED Games here: ted.com/games?utm_medium=social&utm_source=tededYT…

Ok, this is TED-Ed, so you might be asking, "Is the Purring Test educational?"

Well, as AI-generated images and text proliferate across social media– often without identification, sometimes with the express purpose of misleading people– the ability to recognize them for what they are is becoming a critical media literacy skill. The bar is shifting so rapidly that it’s tough to keep up with (it feels like centuries ago when counting fingers was a viable strategy). The Purring Test is a fun way to track this change, and we’re exploring additional clue types, like video and audio, as ways of extending this recognition to other media.

We also see educational value in learning about the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of generative AI. For that reason, wherever possible we take a “warts and all” approach to level creation, where we allow for absurdities and inaccuracies in clues up to the point where they’d be frustratingly misleading.

And finally, we hope that everyone who plays The Purring Test finds themselves eventually wondering “how does this actually work?” and that they avail themselves of the educational resources TED (and others) have created about the AI revolution we’re living through. To that end, a few resources:

A playlist of TED Talks about AI: www.ted.com/games/the-purring-test

The TED AI show: www.ted.com/games/the-purring-test , a podcast in which technologist Bilawal Sidhu talks with the world’s leading experts, artists, journalists, and more to explore the thrilling, sometimes terrifying, future ahead.
