Machine Passes Turing Test, Convinces Judges it's a 13-year-old Boy

A computer algorithm recently convinced human judges from the Royal Society of London that it was a 13-year-old boy from Ukraine, passing the Turing test for artificial intelligence.

The Turing test was devised in 1950 by computer scientist Alan Turing to determine a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human.

The test requires that at least 30 percent of human interrogators believe they are interacting with a human during a series of five-minute keyboard conversations.
