REVERSE TURING TEST. "Consider for the moment a reverse question: can a machine tell us (any of us) apart from another machine? If a machine cannot make such a distinction, are we still to call the machine intelligent? Or if it cannot, should we move to withhold the accolade?" http://www.abelard.org/turing/tur-hi.php#2 View in LinkedIn

CONSCIOUSNESS VS INTELLIGENCE. “The Turing Test wasn't designed as the goal of AI. It was designed as a thought experiment to explain to people who were very skeptical, at the time, that the possibility of intelligent machines did not depend on achieving consciousness — that you could have a machine you'd have to agree was behaving intelligently because it was behaving indistinguishably from a human being.” http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

NOT MAINSTREAM. “Almost nobody in AI is working on passing the Turing Test, except maybe as a hobby. There are people who do work on passing the Turing Test in various competitions, but I wouldn't describe that as mainstream AI research.” http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

MISUNDERSTOOD. “I think the media often gets it wrong. They assume that everyone in AI is trying to pass the Turing Test, and nobody is. They assume that that's the definition of AI, and that wasn't even what it was for.” http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn
