Questions tagged [turing-test]

For questions about the Turing Test, a test designed to see whether a third-party person can identify, from a written transcript, who was the AI and who was the human is an human/AI conversation.

The Turing test was designed in 1950 by Alan Turing, to evaluate a machine's ability to exhibit . He introduced the test in his essay Computing Machinery and Intelligence, which can be read online here.

The test has a human and an AI have a conversation, which is limited to on-screen text, and then a judge will look over the transcript, and try to see if they can tell who was who in the conversation.

Is the Turing Test, or any of its variants, a reliable test of artificial intelligence?

The Turing Test was the first test of artificial intelligence and is now a bit outdated. The Total Turing Test aims to be a more modern test which requires a much more sophisticated system. What techniques can we use to identify an artificial…

How could emotional intelligence be implemented?

I've seen emotional intelligence defined as the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. What are some strategies for artificial intelligence to begin…

What are the specific requirements of the Turing test?

What are the specific requirements of the Turing test? What requirements if any must the evaluator fulfill in order to be qualified to give the test? Must there always be two participants in the conversation (one human and one computer) or can…

Are there any AI that have passed the MIST test so far?

MIST is a quantiative test of humanness, consisting of ~80k propositions such as: Is Earth a planet? Is the sun bigger than my foot? Do people sometimes lie? etc. Have any AI attempted and passed this test to date?

Why spend so much time and money to build AIs to play games?

I was reading about John McCarthy and his orthodox vision of Artificial Intelligence. To me, it seems like he was not very much in favour of resources (like time and money) being used to make AIs play games like Chess. Instead, he wanted more to…

Can machine learning be used to pass the Turing test?

Can we say that the Turing test aims to develop machines or methods to reach human-level performance in all cognitive tasks and that machine learning is one of these methods that can pass the Turing test?

Did Turing foresee the required capabilities to pass the Turing test?

In Section 1.1 of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, it is stated that a computer which passes the Turing Test would need 4 capabilities, and that these 4 capabilities comprise most of the field of Artificial Intelligence: natural language…

Why is the Turing test so popular?

I know there are different AI tests but I'm wondering why other tests are little-known. Is the Turing test hyped? Are there any scientific reasons to prefer one test to the other? Why is the Turing test so popular?

What was the first machine that was able to carry on a conversation?

What was the first AI that was able to carry on a conversation, with real responses, such as in the famous 'I am not a robot. I am a unicorn' case? A 'real response' constitutes a sort-of personalized answer to a specific input by a user.

If the Turing test is passed, does this imply that computers exhibit intelligence?

Turing test was created to test machines exhibiting behavior equivalent or indistinguishable from that of a human. Is that the sufficient condition of intelligence?

Is the play of strong Chess AI easily distinguishable from human play?

I don't play nearly enough Chess to be able to answer. For context, AlphaGo is stronger than the current strongest human player, but AlphaGo's game play has been cast as "inhuman" in the sense that it doesn't resemble human play. (In Go, this can…

How close have we come to passing the Turing Test?

The Turing Test has been the classic test of artificial intelligence for a while now. The concept is deceptively simple - to trick a human into thinking it is another human on the other end of a conversation line, not a computer - but from what I've…

Given enough computational resources, do we currently have any algorithms which could achieve AI?

Hypothetically, assume that you have access to infinite computing power. Do we have designs for any brute-force algorithms that can find an AI capable of passing traditional tests (e.g. Turing, Chinese Room, MIST, etc.)?
