AI – Artificial Intelligence
What movies do you like about intelligent computers or robots?
At present, what activities are computers better at than humans?
Which are humans better at than computers?
Do you think that computers or machines will ever be as intelligent as humans?
Is it possible for computers to control all humans one day?
How can you tell if a computer can think?
In 1950, Alan Turing, the father of computer science, suggested a simple test: The Turing test evaluates the Human like behavior of an Artificially Intelligent system (AI).
Imitation Game
1
Design a computer program that can simulate human conversation.
2
Place it behind a screen or otherwise conceal it from view.
3
Invite a human being to converse with the computer in the form of text messages.
4
If the person mistakes the computer-generated conversation for a human, then the computer can be said "to think".
Think of five questions you would ask a computer to find out if there was a human answering them or whether the answers were coming from a robot.
You are not allowed to ask whether the 'person' is a robot/computer.
Human mind x Computer mind
Turing test
What if a Computer Passed the Turing Test?
The objective of the Turing Test is to establish if a computer has real human-like intelligence.
What if a Computer Passed the Turing Test?
But if a computer were to pass the test, would it really have demonstrated this ability?
The Loebner Prize is an annual contest where judges hold short conversations with concealed artificial-intelligence programs and humans, and then have to decide which is which.
On June 7th 2014, for the first time ever, a Russian supercomputer named “Eugene Goostman” was able to fool researchers and make them believe it was a 13 year old boy.
The computer was able to beat the Turing test by fooling 33% of the researchers.
“Eugene” was created in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was invented by software development engineer Vladimir Veselov and software engineer Eugene Demchenko.
