![]() In the last few years, several pieces of AI software have been described as having beaten the Turing Test. This “Turing Test” assesses the ability of a computer to mimic a human, as judged by another human who could not see the machine but could ask it written questions. In a landmark paper, he suggested that the vagueness could be taken out of the question of human and machine intelligence with a simple test. ![]() In 1950, computer pioneer and wartime codebreaker Alan Turing made one of the most influential attempts to tackle this issue. Could everything we know and do one day be reproduced by a complicated enough computer program installed in a complicated enough robot? ![]() And as AI programs gets better and better at acting like humans, we will increasingly be faced with the question of whether there’s really anything that special about our own intelligence, or if we are just machines of a different kind. We’re entering the age of artificial intelligence. ![]()
