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 ...

We’re entering the age of artificial intelligence. And as AI programs gets better and better at acting like humans, we will increasingly be faced with the question of whether there’s really anything ...

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 ...

Way back in 1950, long before the computers of today were even conceived, Alan Turing, a British mathematician recognized for cracking "The Enigma Code" during World War II, dared to suggest that ...

For more than 70 years, the Turing Test has been a popular benchmark for analyzing the intelligence of computers. For nearly a decade, programmers have created AI reportedly beating the Turing Test ...

A computer program named "Eugene Goostman" has convinced a third of human judges into thinking it is a 13-year-old boy, becoming the first machine to pass the Turing test, Hannah Furness of The ...

Alan Turing is most well known for giving us the universal digital computing machine, the idea that numbers could encode machine instructions as well as be data for those instructions, the vision of ...

After 64 long years, it looks like a machine has finally passed the Turing test for artificial intelligence. A supercomputer in a chat-based challenge fooled 33 percent of judges into thinking that it ...

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 ...

What is the Turing Test? The Turing Test, proposed by Alan Turing, is a way to determine if a machine can exhibit human-like intelligence. In this test, a human interrogator chats via text with two ...
