This milestone will go down in history as one of the most exciting.” It is fitting that such an important landmark has been reached at the Royal Society in London, the home of British science and the scene of many great advances in human understanding over the centuries.
Prof Kevin Warwick, from the University of Reading, said: “In the field of artificial intelligence, there is no more iconic and controversial milestone than the Turing test. No computer had ever previously passed the Turing test, which requires 30 per cent of human interrogators to be duped during a series of five-minute keyboard conversations, organisers from the University of Reading said.īut “Eugene Goostman”, a computer programme developed to simulate a 13-year-old boy, managed to convince 33 per cent of the judges that it was human, the university said.
The test was devised in 1950 by computer science pioneer and second world war code breaker Alan Turing, who said that if a machine was indistinguishable from a human, then it was “thinking”. Five machines were tested at the Royal Society in central London to see if they could fool people into thinking they were humans during text-based conversations. LONDON - A “super computer” has duped humans into thinking it was a 13-year-old boy to become the first machine to pass the Turing test, experts have said.
