Forget Turing the Lovelace Test Has a Better Shot at Spotting AI

I recently blogged about a chatbot, called Eugene Goostman, that was claimed to have passed Alan Turings famous measure of machine intelligence in June by posing as a Ukrainian teenager with questionable language skills. Motherboard notices that "the world went nuts for about an hour before realizing that the bot, far from having achieved human-level intelligence, was actually pretty dumb." This article proposes the Lovelace test for AI that demands an act of creativity from an AI rather than automated conversational skills - its an interesting idea and would be a good way of honouring Ada Lovelace.

Vote for Lovelace Babbage at LEGO Ideas

If you are a regular reader of this blog youll know that Im a big fan of Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace. Consequently Id be certain to want a set of these Lovelace & Babbage Lego bricks should they ever be made. They would be a  fanciful and historical collection of bricks that pay homage to the Victorian roots of the computer age. The set would let you build a lego steam punk analytical engine within which you could embed a Raspberry Pi or similar mini-computer board. You can find out more on the Lego Ideas website.
