75 Years of the Turing Test: Why It Still Matters for AI
It took an emotionally complex man, Alan Turing, to first imagine a world in which machines could ‘think’, writes Satyen K. Bordoloi.
The author recalls an experience from 2019, when he asked a nascent AI system to create an original joke, and was surprised to find that it had managed to synthesise and recombine existing information to create something entirely new, eliciting a spontaneous, human response.
Have machines already passed the Turing Test?
This question was prompted by the author's interaction with the AI system, which had demonstrated an ability to think and create in a way that was indistinguishable from human intelligence.
The Turing Test, formulated by Alan Turing, remains an important milestone in the development of AI, and its relevance continues to be felt even today.
