One more Step on Artificial Intelligence
The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. In the original illustrative example, a human judge engages in natural language conversations with a human and a machine designed to generate performance indistinguishable from that of a human being. All participants are separated from one another. If the judge cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test. The test does not check the ability to give the correct answer to questions; it checks how closely the answer resembles typical human answers.
BUT Recently this test has been passed by a computer for the first time after convincing user it a human.!!
A computer program that pretends to be a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy called Eugene Goostman passed a Turing test at the Royal Society in London yesterday (Saturday 6 June) by convincing 33 percent of the judges that it was human during a five-minute typed conversation. The test was suggested by computer scientist Alan Turing in 1950, and the competition was held on the 60th anniversary of his death.
In the field of artificial intelligence there is no more iconic and controversial milestone than the Turing Test.
Since the AI of the present days has passed the Turing test which of course if one of the toughest one.
This is one of greatest leap for Artificial intelligence which could some day surpass the Human intelligence itself
