AI is becoming more and more advanced … but it will many years before they can really match human interlect. Maybe, just maybe we can see a REAL robot with decent enough AI in our life time to interact with humans.
“A chatbot called Mitsuku has won an annual contest to see if computers can convincingly imitate humans. The chatbot took top prize in the Loebner contest that puts the artificially intelligent programs through their paces.
The contest involves the programs trying to convince judges they are human by answering questions put to them via an instant message system.Briton Steve Worswick who wrote Mitsuku won $4,000 (£2,500) for his creation.
Created by US businessman Hugh Loebner, the annual competition is an attempt to stage a real-world test of a question posed by mathematician Alan Turing in the 1950s.”
