The computer for the first time passed the Turing test
Tests at the Royal society of London showed that the supercomputer "Eugene" convinced 33% of judges that he 13-year-old child.
Intelligent machine was developed by Vladimir Veselov and Eugene Demchenko. The event was held on the 60th anniversary of the death of Turing, who laid the foundations of modern computing. Previously, no computer could never pass the Turing test, which requires that 30 percent of the human experts will be deceived during a five-minute conversation with the keyboard.Professor Kevin Warwick of reading University who organised the test, said: "In the field of artificial intelligence there is no more iconic and controversial moments than the Turing test. This milestone will go down in history as one of the most exciting episodes. Therefore, we are proud to declare that Alan Turing's test was passed for the first time".
Russian scientist Veselov said: "It is a great achievement for us, and we hope it boosts interest in artificial intelligence and robots". "Eugene", mimicking the intelligence of 13-year-old boy managed to convince 33 percent of judges in his "humanity." According to Professor Warwick, the computer will have severe consequences for society and is a "Wake-up call to cybercrime."
