This year marks 70 years since Alan Turing published his paper introducing the concept of the Turing Test in response to the question, “Can machines think?” The test’s goal was to determine if a ...

There have been several headlines over the past week about an AI chatbot officially passing the Turing test. These news reports are based on a recent preprint study by two researchers at the ...

Do computers think? Some experts say yes, some say no. —Time magazine, Jan. 23, 1950 How do we tell whether a machine thinks? Much of today’s discussion of the matter starts with British computer ...

A new study by researchers at the University of California San Diego concluded that GPT‑4.5, OpenAI’s latest large language model, and Meta’s Llama‑3.1‑405B succeeded in a three-party Turing Test ...

Author's rendition of a basic Turing test set-up. Sitting in between two agents (one human and one machine), a person needs to interact with both agents and determine (correctly) which is a machine.

Alan Turing proposed a test for machine intelligence that no longer works. The idea was to have people communicate over a terminal, with another real person and with a computer. If the computer is ...

The Turing Test is obsolete. We can't let big biz define intelligence. Men and women took a swan dive into neural nets and deep learning long before they had the computing power to make their ...

IBM has come up with an automatic debating system called Project Debater that researches a topic, presents an argument, listens to a human rebuttal and formulates its own rebuttal. But does it pass ...
