What makes AI, AI?
In the last post, I went over a few survey results that I took a while back. In the post, I said that I'd go over what factors consider something to be AI since some people don't have a clear understanding. So here it is.
A test called the Turing test was made in the year 1950 by English computer scientist Alan Turing. It was originally called the imitation game and it is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or in a similar form to, that of a human. Basically, it determines whether a computer can "think" or not. The Turing test is where a remote human interrogator, within a certain time frame, must distinguish between a computer and a human subject based on their replies to various questions asked by the interrogator. By means of a series of such tests, a computer’s success at “thinking” can be measured by its probability of being misidentified as the human subject.
Computers that have the ability to pass this test are considered AI. This is also the type of machine intelligence that is evident in the speech and language recognition of the Siri on the iPhone, and also in the vision-recognition systems on self-driving cars of Teslas, or in the recommendation engines that suggest products you might like based on what you bought in the past like Amazon and Google.

Thanks to this post, I could clearly understand what is AI. Actually, when I joined your survey, but I didn’t understand how broad the word AI is. However, according to this post, I could understand that AI can be AI by passing the Turing Test. It was interesting to know the history of this test, thank you for sharing this information.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, the ability of AI is developed more and more, so I think that there is a possibility that the variety of tests which shows the ability of AI like the Turing Test will be increasing and AI will be more complexed.
