This year marks 70 years since Alan Turing published his paper introducing the concept of the Turing Test in response to the question, “Can machines think?” The test’s goal was to determine if a ...

"Can machines think?" That's the core question legendary mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing posed in October, 1950. Turing wanted to assess whether machines could imitate or exhibit ...

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.

In 1950, Alan Turing had an answer to that question—a computer was capable of “thought” if its output was so convincing that a person interacting with it couldn ’ t distinguish its answers from those ...

The rise of generative artificial intelligence has launched us into a new age. Machines now perform tasks that once belonged only to human minds. Using pretrained models and transformers, they create ...

The AI-mpersonation is complete. The dystopian lessons in every sci-fi movie from “Terminator” to “Ex Machina” appear to be coming true. Artificial intelligence has become so sophisticated that bots ...

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 ...

Central Square Theater passes its own Turing test with U.S. premier of an updated production about the master mathematician.

The Turing Test is obsolete. We can't let big biz define intelligence. Men and women took a swan dive into neural nets and deep learning long before they had the computing power to make their ...
