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.

Alan Turing infographic

Steve Ollington and the Manchester Jurys Inn,  have created an online infographic thats a mini-tutorial on Turings life and work. Steve write, the Jurys Inn: "...recognise his [Alan Turings] importance as key figure in British History and a national treasure, and they liked the thought of providing a memorial that would engage, teach and honour a great figure, especially one who is such a local hero."
   Their infographic succinctly (and attractively) sums up many of the key points of Turings story and is a great point of access for those who are just learning about the man and his place in history. Its reproduced below, and you can visit it on the Jurys Inn site here. [This was brought to my attention by the Turing Centenary blog]
