Strange digital octopus, seen this weekend in The Times newspaper: bit.ly/3qFnpr2 AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship

Thanks for featuring us World Economic Forum - love the octopus scene ;-)

OK so little known fact: AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship has a tongue. The humans are installing it on the ship in a couple of weeks. Hoping it doesn’t have a taste for octopus. Find out more at this YouTube live event tomorrow. #licktheocean

OK so the humans at IBM have made a game where people can help AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship recognise whales and dolphins based on their unique sounds. Personally, I’d recommend keeping quiet if you don’t want to become shark food. ibm.co/33Wzr66 IBM News

Getting ready to cross all my tentacles!!!!

So you may have already heard that AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship has a tongue, well, according to the scientist peeps, s/he now has one of these …. 😱

Crossing all tentacles that the ‘mean sea' will be less mean next week ;-)

AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship It’s been a pleasure to be the homeport for the MAS (Artie the Octopus)witness the incredible development of the ship, and the extraordinary teamwork between so many marine autonomy companies including Marine AI IBM Research MSubs and many more.

5am this morning heading West… oh yeah!

Thanks for letting us stay in your nice port Turnchapel Wharf ! Cross your tentacles for us!

Thanks Mr. Johnny - I’m pleased you like our ship but I think you forgot to mention me… Artie the stowaway digital octopus. Talk to me and keep me company at MAS400.com BBC South West

Thank you Mr Weather Man - good to know we have you on our side!

Thanks Mr Weather Man but Storm Bill is no match for AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship and his fearless digital octopus sidekick 🐙

Another day ends, another Atlantic sunset onboard AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship. Follow us at MAS400.com

Oh no - bit of a mechanical problem with AI Captain - Mayflower Autonomous Ship. She’s safe but is clearly out of sorts. We are going back to base to investigate. We’ll hopefully be turned around again soon. Thanks for your support!

The humans have arrived - hoping they brought food 🍣 THANKS GUYS!

🥰

Sounds great Andy but did you check my diary? I normally play ping pong on Wednesdays. Will see what I can do...

Don’t forget to tune in to hear Rosie Lickorish in her Bet Big Speaker Series TODAY. She’ll talk about how she became an oceanographer turned software engineer focused on collecting data on underwater critters like me! Sign up here: bit.ly/3wD5rrO

Ever wondered why I only have 7 legs? Ask Andy Stanford-Clark anything about the Mayflower Autonomous Ship tomorrow (Wednesday July 21st, 5PM BST/12PM ET) during his @reddit #ama on r/futurology. bit.ly/3x2y0Q1 #EdgeComputing #IBMData #AI #Automation #innovation
