TCIT: Towards a Comprehensive Intelligence Test, Reconsidering the Turing Test for the 21st Century, Leicester (U.K.), 29 Mar - 1 Apr, 2010
Call for Paper
Towards a Comprehensive Intelligence Test (TCIT)
Reconsidering the Turing Test for the 21st Century Symposium
http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~aayesh/TuringTestRevisited/
At AISB2010 Convention
Leicester, UK
29th March 1st April 2010
2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of Turings paper,
in which he outlined his test for machine intelligence. Turing
suggested that the possibility of genuine machine thought should be
replaced by a simple behaviour-based process in which a human
interrogator converses blindly with a machine and another human.
Although the precise nature of the test has been debated, the standard
interpretation is that if, after five minutes interaction, the
interrogator cannot reliably tell which respondent is the human and
which the machine then the machine can be qualified as a 'thinking
machine'. Through the years, this test has become synonymous as 'the
benchmark' for Artificial Intelligence in popular culture. However,
new advances in cognitive sciences and consciousness studies suggest
it may be useful to revisit this test. The aim of this symposium is to
reconsider the Turing Test in the light of current advances in
Artificial Intelligence, cognitive systems, and other competitions
that provide insights into different types of intelligence, with the
goal of outlining a new test - or suite of tests - that may more
usefully be employed to evaluate 'machine intelligence' at the dawn of
the 21st century.
