openSauce Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Has anyone heard the buzz around "Bionic brain?" creating totally realistic A.I. that could pass a Turing test? I personally believe the first country to have this technology will bring the next revolution (i.e. like the Agricultural Revolution, Industrial Revolution etc) Think about it, any desk bound job could potentially be replaced by computer. Thoughts? Edited February 26, 2014 by openSauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pears Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm not sure passing a Turing Test is the same as having the equivalent capabilties of a human doing a desk job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human."

"The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human." My understanding of the Turing test is that it is about conversation. Fully human intelligent behaviour is more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unity+ Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Why not? "The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human." The Turing test is only a test to determine whether if you were able to talk to the intelligence that it is no different than talking to a human. Though this is good news, it isn't major news that would involve robots becomes human like. We still have some ways to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Sorry Prowler, new to forum rules: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/02/25/bionic-brain-verge-becoming-reality I don't think this project is primarily intended to develop AI. It is mainly for medical research, to better understand how the brain works. It is basically the equivalent of the US program: http://www.nih.gov/science/brain/ I suppose that knowledge could help develop an AI (although I'm not convinced).
