SubscribeMan or machine?
Following my excitement in the discovery of Asimo earlier in the month, I was delighted to read today that machines aren’t yet capable of passing as humans. They are getting close though. This weekend was the Turing test, which is part of the Loebner Prize. It seeks to determine whether a machine can pass as a human. Five judges each converse with one computer and one human and then have to guess which was which. As one of the judges reports in the Times today its not as easy as you might think.
