BITSHINE 2018 is being organized on the 12 th and 13 th of November, for the students to showcase their skills in the annual hardware and software project competition Did Google Duplex really pass the Turing Test? Certainly, shockwaves rippled throughout the tech world when Google CEO Mr. Sundar Pichai live demonstrated Google’s experimental AI voice system, Google Duplex, during Google I/O. He explained that they were making a real phone call made to a hair salon that didn’t know it was part of an experiment or that they were talking to a computer. He launched Duplex by asking Google Assistant to book a haircut appointment for Tuesday morning. The AI did rest. All in all, the demo was awesome. But – passing the Turing’s Test? The Turing Test requires that you have an ongoing, free- flowing conversation on any topic, and not being able to call that you are conversing with a computer. Google’s Duplex system can’t do that at all. It can only carry out natural conversations after being deeply conversations after being deeply trained in such domains, as per the tech giant itself. It cannot handle general conversations. So, as for the demo – there are some questions. Firstly, it is hard to know what was the actual percentage of actual live calls that came anywhere near the quality of what was shown. Since they didn’t go for the live demo, there’s really no way of knowing. It is very much possible that most test calls did not perform that well. Secondly, each narrow task has to be trained separately with thousands and thousands of hours of relevant conversation recordings. As per Google, “One of the key research insights was to constrain Duplex to closed domains”. This actually hampers its practical usefulness for now. Thirdly, the system cannot deal with complex sentences, cannot learn new skills on its own, or even reason at any situation. In other simple words, it lacks intelligence. These shortcomings are the reason why Duplex still comes under the ‘Second Wave of AI’, as it is a statistical, deep learning system. Deep understanding, reasoning, real- time learning and handling conversations outside of the trained set requires cognitive abilities – also known as the ‘Third Wave of AI’, which is yet to be achieved as till now. So, although the demo was brilliant without doubt,, and Google may develop Duplex soon for the better, but for the tech magazines and newsletters passing articles under the headline ‘Google Duplex passes the Turing Test’, let us come back to the original question, and the answer, as things currently stand, is - “No, it didn’t.” Pranjalya Tiwari 3 rd Sem ‘B’ Khoon: The Initiative Khoon is a Bangalore-based NGO that is creating a database of voluntary blood donors who can help patients in the time of need. Khoon Bhilai is one of its chapters, a youth-run Non- Profit Organization with a vision to ensure that no life is lost due to blood scarcity. Our aim is to form the largest network of emergency blood donors in India to bridge the gap between, the wide range of blood donors and the blood receivers. And we are proud to say that we are heading towards that goal very rapidly, as we have achieved a success rate of 65% in just three months of operation. We believe that a step in the right direction at the right time can impact the fabric of society and that there is no greater social service than donating blood. Khoon tracks availability of blood with various well-known organizations like Red Cross, the Bowring Hospital Blood Bank, and the Life Saver Blood Centre. We are also in informal collaboration with the Balaji Blood Bank, Chandulal Hospital’s Blood Bank, Apollo Hospital’s Blood Bank, and JLN Hospital’s Blood Bank. Under this, they can reach out to us for specific patients, as well as mass requirements. We, at Khoon, have taken a vow to do everything in our power to fulfill every blood requirement in state and save as many lives as we can. Yash Pamnani 3 rd Sem ‘B’ Volunteer, Khoon Bhilai
