An important scientific benchmark that has lasted for over seven decades has been broken by artificial intelligence (AI). A new breakthrough study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Since its conception by the British computer scientist Alan Turing, the so-called Turing Test has served as an unofficial benchmark for artificial intelligence. The test is conceptually simple.

"Can machines think?" That's the core question legendary mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing posed in October, 1950. Turing wanted to assess whether machines could imitate or exhibit ...

IBM has come up with an automatic debating system called Project Debater that researches a topic, presents an argument, listens to a human rebuttal and formulates its own rebuttal. But does it pass ...

First proposed in 1950, the "Turing Test"—named after renowned British computer scientist Alan Turing—is a hypothetical framework to test the intelligence of an AI system. In this "imitation game," as ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study by researchers at the University of California San Diego concluded that GPT‑4.5, OpenAI’s latest large language model, ...

While the fundamental premise remains unchanged, the dramatic advancement of large language models has renewed scientific focus on this classic benchmark. A study conducted by researchers at the ...

Alan Turing proposed a test for machine intelligence that no longer works. The idea was to have people communicate over a terminal, with another real person and with a computer. If the computer is ...

Author's rendition of a basic Turing test set-up. Sitting in between two agents (one human and one machine), a person needs to interact with both agents and determine (correctly) which is a machine.

We’re entering the age of artificial intelligence. And as AI programs gets better and better at acting like humans, we will increasingly be faced with the question of whether there’s really anything ...
