Jerker Westin and colleagues at the Department of Culture, Media and Computer Science, Högskolan Dalarna, Borlänge, Sweden, have, between them, developed a new variant of the now-famous Turing Test – which was the first experimental procedure devised to try to determine whether an Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine can, in fact, “think”. The new version of […]

The Turing Test and “Bill O’Reilly”
This video clip has been much in the news recently. We believe that people have misinterpreted its nature. Is the “man” speaking here really a thinking human being named Bill O’Reilly? Or is the “man” really a computer artfully built to look and sound like a “thinking” human? Behold the latest entry in the Turing […]
Turing Test Handshake: The paper
A paper describes the thinking behind the competition to build a Turing-Test-like-passable robotic handshake (which was described here yesterday). The paper is called “A Turing-like Handshake Test for Motor Intelligence.” One or more of the authors — Amir Karniel, Ilana Nisky, Guy Avraham, Bat-Chen Peles, and Shelly Levy-Tzedek — will present it at the EuroHaptics […]
A one-handed Turing Test, sort of
A modified, kinda-sorta version of the Turing Test (to see whether a computer’s behavior is on a par with that of a human), involving a handshake, will be conducted at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The Jerusalem Post reports: Turing proposed that the inability of a human interrogator to distinguish between answers provided by a […]
