A program that convinced humans it was a 13-year-old boy has become the first computer ever to pass the Turing Test.
The test—which requires that computers are indistinguishable from humans—is considered a landmark in the development of artificial intelligence, but academics have warned that the technology could be used for cybercrime.
Computing pioneer Alan Turing said that a computer could be understood to be thinking if it passed the test, which requires that a computer dupes 30 percent of human interrogators in five-minute text conversations.
Eugene Goostman, a computer program made by a team based in Russia, succeeded in a test conducted at the Royal Society in London. It convinced 33 percent of the judges it was human, said academics at the University of Reading, which organized the test.
