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 ...

"Can machines think?" That's the core question legendary mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing posed in October, 1950. Turing wanted to assess whether machines could imitate or exhibit ...

In 1950, Alan Turing had an answer to that question—a computer was capable of “thought” if its output was so convincing that a person interacting with it couldn ’ t distinguish its answers from those ...

Since its conception by the British computer scientist Alan Turing, the so-called Turing Test has served as an unofficial benchmark for artificial intelligence. The test is conceptually simple.

The rise of generative artificial intelligence has launched us into a new age. Machines now perform tasks that once belonged only to human minds. Using pretrained models and transformers, they create ...

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 ...

Eugene Goostman -- the fake 13-year-old from Odessa, Ukraine who doesn't speak English all that well – makes for a semi-convincing chatbot.

The Turing Test is obsolete.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 ...
