Artificial Intelligence: should we or shouldn’t we?

I use artificial neural networks in my day to day work. so does your bank, so do marketing companies blah blah. I am fairly sure computers will become self aware. Whether it’s good… If they sound like Scarlett johannsenn, I will be fine with it.

There's a lot of myth and misconception swirling around Alan Turing's behaviourist focussed "Computer Machinery and Intelligence" paper but it is noteworthy that a chat bot program called "Eugene Goostman" has just successfully completed the "Imitation Game", commonly known as "The Turing Test".

Mind you, since when did 33% constitute a pass mark?

There is a  Princeton based link to an online version of the chatbot but right now it appears to be down

Eugene's up again but a bit slow. Guess it's been an exhausting day for him.

Can you believe it's nearly thirty years since Live Aid?

   

I'd like to be more acquainted with this so-called "behavianal" - sorry - "behavioral" studies centre!

 

Yeah, I'm convinced that's an eleven year-old kid and not a bot.

If I had night shift last night then, maybe…
But I did not.

Shift work must suck… I can barely sleep properly without shift work.

I think if you drink and smoke, eat lots of processed foods and have a sedentary lifestyle it’s not so bad.
I don’t think any of you hikers could handle it.

I will be at MIT this Monday and Tuesday, and the AI project we are doing with them is much more complex and exciting than this.

If I can, I will post photos of our simulations.

I might even get a game of Jenga with their machine !

We’re only in real trouble when robots can start passing that ‘are you a robot’ Google test thing. That’s when society officially falls apart
