Can machines think? The originator of modern, electronic computing asked this question in terms of the now famous Turing test. Turing proposed it as a variant of an “imitation game” in which, using ...

Ever since, the so-called Turing Test embodied in that paper, Computing Machinery And Intelligence, has served as a yardstick ...

No, it's just good at mass-production copy and paste. And yes, we're correctly applying Betteridge's Law Opinion Remember ...

Alan Turing theorized a machine that could do infinite calculations from an infinite amount of data that computes based on a set of rules. It starts with an input, transforms the data and outputs an ...

Pairs were set up and judges were tasked with identifying whether who they were talking to was human or a computer. Can machines be successful in 'being human' in real conversations? Alan Turing led a ...

There was a time in the not too distant past—say, nine months ago—when the Turing test seemed like a pretty stringent detector of machine intelligence. Chances are you’re familiar with how it works: ...

Whether or not you caught wind of the excited announcement that "Eugene Goostman," a computer program ("chatbot") devised by Vladimir Veselov, Eugene Demchenko and Sergey Ulasen, had passed the Turing ...

Some of today’s most capable AI systems are refined versions of large language models (LLMs) that predict text on the basis ...

A Harvard University professor has been awarded a top technology prize for research that has paved the way for computers that more closely mimic how humans think, including the one that won a ...

A chatbot pretending to be a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy made waves last weekend when its programmers announced that it had passed the Turing test. But the judges of this test were apparently easily ...
