It is finished. First time in the history of the computer with artificial intelligence passed the Turing test. Rejoice or collect alarm suitcase - you decide, one fact remains: no way back. Not far off is the creation of artificial intelligence, which will surpass human power. But first, let's see.
According to The Independent, a program to convince people that the computer sits 13-year-old boy. This means the actual passing the Turing Test when the computer can not be distinguished from a person. This is a major milestone in the development of artificial intelligence, but scientists have warned that this technology can be used for cybercrime.
Pioneer Computing Technologies Alan Turing argued that the computer can be called thinking, if it passes the test, during which he will need to deceive (to mislead) 30% of interviewees in the face of people during the five-minute text messages.
"Eugene Gustman" Gustman Eugene, Eugene Goostman - is a computer program created by a team of Russian programmers, which has successfully passed the test at the Royal Society in London. Thirty-three percent of judges believed that talking with the man, according to scientists from the University of Reading, which organized the test.
Henceforth, we can assume that this is the first computer which was a landmark test. While other programs too close to success. A year ago, during the Turing test 100 (in honor of the centenary of Alan Turing, had he lived to this day) Eugene Goostman received very high marks judges. Together with the program passed the test and familiar to many Cleverbot, Ultra Hal, Elbot the Robot and JFRED.
Version of "Eugene", created in 2001, and there on the Internet.
Computer program claims that it - 13-year-old boy from Odessa, Ukraine.
"Our main idea was that he knows everything and knows nothing, and this explains Eugene age - says Vladimir Veselov, one of the creators of the program. - We spent a lot of time developing the character with believable personality. "
Success of the program is likely to cause some concern about the future of computing, says Kevin Warwick, a visiting professor at the University of Reading and Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research at the University of Coventry.
"In the field of artificial intelligence is no more iconic and controversial stage than the Turing test, when the computer assures a sufficient number of investigators that he is not a machine, but a man. Having a computer that can deceive people might consider it an alarming signal for the development of cyber crime. "
Try it yourself to imagine how important may be the conversion of any cyber buddies with artificial intelligence almost people by correspondence. When spam bots become indistinguishable from humans.
During the test, organized by the Royal Society, was tested five programs. Alan Turing created your test during the writing of "Computing machinery and intelligence". In it he said that because "thinking" is difficult to define, it is important to understand whether the computer can simulate a real human being. Since then, the test has become a key element in the philosophy of artificial intelligence.
On the 60th anniversary of the death of the Turing test has been passed.
