The Turing Test is Dead. Long Live The Lovelace Test

The Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour indistinguishable from a human.

Marks and Dr. Selmer Bringsjord discuss the Turing test, the Lovelace test, and machine creativity.
