Bots Fail To Live Up To Turing Test - Again
News The Loebner Prize is based on a prediction made in 1950 by Alan Turing, the famous British mathematician and code breaker. According to Turing, in the year 2000, computer programming would have advanced to a stage where, after five minutes of...

Artificial Intelligence: Working Backwards From HAL
News This clever program was able to hold a seemingly intelligent conversation with a human, and many felt that given enough computer power and a large enough vocabulary these algorithms would make it possible for a machine to meet Turing's test for...

Robot-busting Ploy 'shuts Out The Blind'
News Often called a "Turing test" (after computer scientist Alan Turing, who famously described the requirements for a test to distinguish between a computer and a person), the visual verification test requires a person to read and type a series of...

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog I promise to come up with something sensible just as soon as I'm able to pass the Turing Test — estimated time to consciousness: three cups of coffee and half an hour. I consider whether it might be an idea to build a portable Turing Test machine...

Ray Kurzweil: Don't Fear The Nanofuture
News Of course, she doesn't yet pass the Turing test. The Turing test was developed by computer scientist Alan Turing to determine whether computers can "think". Among other achievements, Kurzweil, who has worked on artificial intelligence and pattern...

Robots Need Culture Says Sony Scientist
News I think the Turing test is a bad idea because it's completely fake," Steels said. In one sense, Steels joked, the Turing test has already been passed -- by the Aibo. Steels's work deals with machine intelligence but it's a fundamentally different...

AI: The Story So Far
News Alan Turing's other contribution to the field of artificial intelligence was the Turing Test of 1950, described by the Oxford Companion to the Mind as "the best test we have for confirming the presence of intelligence in a machine".

Anti-spam Tricks Block The Blind
News Efforts to create tests aimed at distinguishing humans from machines go back decades, with the most famous formulation of the problem posed in 1950 by the English mathematician and World War II "Enigma" code breaker Alan Turing.

Anti-spam Tool Helps Digitise Books
News The project is a variation of the widely used "Captcha" (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) technique used to weed out computer abuse such as emailing spam or posting spam on blog comments.

ALICE Talks Her Way To Victory In AI Challenge
News This is a variant of the famous Turing Test, proposed by the eponymous researcher, which says that we can consider machines intelligent when they can converse convincingly. The Loebner Prize, like the Turning Test itself, is not highly regarded by...

Talking PCs Make Progress
News The Turing test -- building a machine that can respond like a human via typed messages -- was posed by World War II era computing pioneer Alan Turing. Machines that listen and talk like humans are becoming a reality, many researchers and executives...

Scientists Teach Computer To Speak
News In 1950, British mathematician Alan Turing proposed a test for intelligence whereby any machine capable of convincing a human that it was talking to another human should be considered intelligent. This test still used by some artificial...

Distributed Computing Cracks Enigma Code
News Cryptologists at Bletchley Park in the UK managed to break Enigma through their development of early computers, led by Alan Turing, and also by using intelligence to cut down the number of possible set-ups.
