Scientists unveiled the tongue on Wednesday (Credits: Getty Images/iStockphoto)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. 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. Scientists found that their creation could detect watered-down milk, different types of sodas, coffees and multiple fruit juices with more than 80 per cent accuracy. Professor Saptarshi Das, who works in engineering science and mechanics at Penn State, said: ‘We’re trying to make an artificial tongue, but the process of how we experience different foods involves more than just the tongue.
