The computer passed the Turing test! – Polish Radio

Alan Turing believed that – when a computer passes the test – you will be able to say that he began to think.

test lies in the fact that the machine answers the questions people in the session after five minutes per person. If you fool 30 percent. interlocutors, he is a man, it means that her answers are so unpredictable that they can not be pre-programmed and are the result of independent thinking machine.

managed to do this program, “Eugene Goostman , “which was founded in Russia. He answered questions from members of London’s Royal Society and competed with the other four programs. Only he has achieved success: to convince his human identity 33 percent. callers. Test organized the University of Reading.

other computers had already had to do something like that, every time it turned out, however, that the test was not performed as it should, for example, previously known issues that will ask for testers.

Eugene Goostman was created in order to succeed 13-year-old Ukrainian Odessa. – The idea is to be able to say that he knows everything, but at the same time do not know many things – says Vladimir Weselow, one of the creators. – A lot of time was spent on creating a credible character and personality.

The web version is available Goostmana in 2001. Anyone can talk to her. – That was easy. Nothing special – commented on the success of the younger program.

However, the success Eugen raises lots of questions, including those about the future of electronics. – There is no more controversial and iconic milestone than the Turing Test – said prof. Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading. – A computer that can go wrong, it is someone else, then wake up for the bad guys – he added.

specialists but calm. Alan Turing Test was established in , 1950. Turing was trying to indicate the moment when machines will gain the ability to think for themselves. Should it pass machine that “counterfeit” who speaks fluent English adult. Russians facilitated the task itself, because Eugene nor is it an “adult”, or do not speak English well. We also have to deal with a computer program, which direct specific scripts, and not the entire machine. – Eugene does not think in terms of cognitive – evaluate the specialists from the portal io9.

Specialists assure us, however, that in this case we did not have to deal with the full version of the Turing Test.

So is just entering a new era? Poszekamy see.
