Lovelace test – Uncommon Descent

Artificial Intelligence Intelligent Design Mind

How the Lovelace test raises the stakes for thinking machines

The Turing test has had a free ride in science media for far too long, says an AI expert: In the view of Rensselaer philosopher and computer scientist Selmer Bringsjord, the iconic Turing test for human-like intelligence in computers is inadequate and easily gamed. Merely sounding enough like a human to fool people does not Read More…
