Turing Test Competition At CalTech

Charles Dodgeson writes "The Turing Tournament at Cal Tech wants to know if you can program an emulator that will play games like a human, or if can you write detector that can correctly sort the wetware from the software. Before you get too excited, the "games" are very limited things. But there is a $10,000 prize for the winner. You can read the gory details."

  1. OK I could be wrong, but,,, by SuperCal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Its been awhile sence I read about the subject, but isn't the Turing test just putting people in front of a terminal to talk to either a real person or a AI, and then asking which is the real person. When the same number of testers chose the AI as the real person, then the AI passes the test. Sence when did the Turing name apply to every AI competion? Am I wrong? This isn't a flame just a question about definitions...
