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...

Geekender Gallery: Top 10 usability greats
Articles The Turing Test (after its creator, Alan Turing) pits a human interlocutor against another human, hidden from view, and a machine, also hidden. The Turing Test shows us the parameters we're dealing with in HCI and helps us recognise that the gap...

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".
