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 ...

A video game may have laid the groundwork for true artificial intelligence (A.I.). What if “bots” (computer-controlled enemies in first-person shooters) could disguise themselves as human? Would that ...

In a recent experiment involving the Turing test, a 1960s chatbot named ELIZA unexpectedly outperformed OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model in posing as a human. The Turing test, developed by computer scientist ...

OpenAI's GPT-4 has become the first AI to pass the Turing Test. At least, that's what a group of researchers claim in a new study. The study, which is currently available on the preprint server arXiv, ...

One of the most prolific tests a machine can undertake is called the Turing Test, created by Alan Turing in 1950 that's purpose was to test if a machine is capable of displaying a level of ...

Most people know that the famous Turing Test, a thought experiment conceived by computer pioneer Alan Turing, is a popular measure of progress in artificial intelligence. Many mistakenly assume, ...
