Great news. A computer program has managed to fool a bunch of researchers and think it's an 13-time called Eugene Ghostman. In this way, it was the first time in the world that some people successfully passed the Turing test.
The name of the test came from the computer champion Alan Turing. To pass a computer program the test, it must trick the 30 percent of judges into five minutes by answering chats. The project has never been achieved.
"Eugene" was created by a team of scientists in Russia, and passed the test organized by the University of Reading. He barely managed to fool one of the three judges but was good enough to pass the test. It should also be noted that the chatbot he pretended to be a 13-year-old boy, English being his second language.
Obviously it's an exciting discovery, but it's already critics who raise red flags for the impact it can have.
"Having a computer that can trick human thought, and have someone think they're talking to people they trust, is a call wake-up call for future cybercrimes,” said Kevin Warwick, visiting professor at the University of Reading.
There are serious concerns about what the news means for her online security in the future? For sure. But today after that, we should all understand that we have entered a new era of IT.
Of course, it would be good to mention a very practical application of the proletterof Eugene Goostman. It could be used as a trap for the capture of pedophiles.
