A Computer Has Reportedly Passed The Turing Test For The First Time
A computer program named 'Eugene Goostman'" has convinced a third of humans into thinking it is a 13-year-old boy, becoming the first machine to pass the Turing test, Hannah Furness of The Telegraph reports.
Computer science pioneer and World War II codebreaker Alan Turing created the test in 1950 in a paper which opens with the words: "I propose to consider the question, 'Can machines think?'"
He argued that if a machine dupes 30% of human participants during a series of chats, then it is exhibiting intelligent behaviorthat is indistinguishable from that of a human. Consequently, the artificial intelligence idea of a "thinking machine" would no longer be contradictory.
'Eugene Goostman,' a program developed to simulate a 13-year-old boy, convinced 33% of the judges that it was human at the Royal Society in London.
University of Reading Professor Kevin Warwick, told the Telegraph that having computers with this level of intelligence has ''implications for society'' and would serve as a ''wake-up call to cybercrime."
