Turing’s Original Test Played First Time Ever
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005[/.] aykroyd writes “Students at Simon’s Rock College conducted the original test that Turing suggested in his 1950 paper, Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Often misunderstood, the Turing Test has never actually been conducted as laid out in his paper. The experiment utilized a program called A.L.I.C.E.,
which is designed to hold one end of an interactive conversation. The program was provided by the ALICE Artificial Intelligence Foundation. Dr. Richard Wallace, who was on hand during the experiment to troubleshoot the AI robot, later gave a lecture about it called “The Anatomy of A.L.I.C.E.” and also blogged the event.”
