Loebner Talks AI

Posted by timothy on from the well-tell-him-ai-back dept.

Mighty Squirrel writes "This is a fascinating interivew with Hugh Loebner, the academic who has arguably done more to promote the development of artifical intelligence than anyone else. He founded the Loebner prize in 1990 to promote the development of artificial intelligence by asking developers to create a machine which passes the Turing Test — meaning it responds in a way indistinguishable from a human. The latest running of the contest is this weekend and this article shows what an interesting and colourful character Loebner is."

    Until it asks to see my computer with its door off and showing its top end bits the its not acting human.

    Seriously if I jerk off to this hardware then a computer should!

    Which is why I think some of the other interviews being published on AI are far more interesting. But that could just be me.
