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 ...

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.

The Turing test, proposed by computer scientist Alan Turing in 1950, is a measure of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.

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.

Even in 1950, at the dawn of the computing age, famous British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing knew that machines would one day rival the conversational abilities of humans. To ...

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 ...
