Has AI passed the Turing test yet? | Explained
The HinduIn 1950, British computer scientist Alan Turing proposed an experimental method for answering the question: can machines think? Although AI systems remained far from passing Turing’s test during his lifetime, he speculated that ““ in about fifty years’ time it will be possible to programme computers to make them play the imitation game so well that an average interrogator will not have more than 70% chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning.”Alan Turing Today, more than 70 years after Turing’s proposal, no AI has managed to successfully pass the test by fulfilling the specific conditions he outlined. Given the rapid progress achieved in the design of natural language processing systems, we may see AI pass Turing’s original test within the next few years. Even if AI systems have the underlying ability to pass the Turing test, this kind of programming would override that ability. The Turing test is a measure of imitation – of AI’s ability to simulate the human behaviour.
