Jerker Westinand fellow at the Department of Culture , Media and Computer Science , Högskolan Dalarna , Borlänge , Sweden , have , between them , developed a new chance variable of the now - famed Turing Test .
The Turing Test was the first experimental procedure forge to attempt to determine whether an Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) machine can , in fact , “ think ” . The new translation of the test , report in the paper ‘ The April Fool Turing Test ‘ ( published in the journal tripleC [ Cognition Communication Co - procedure ] Vol 4 , No 2 ) explains the shortcomings of the original testas developed by Alan Turingin 1950 . Pointing out that :
” … the Turing Test defines human intelligence in terms of a judgement made by human intelligence operation . This definition is quite obviously orbitual and it is not perhaps so surprising that it can lead to paradoxes and confusion . ”
The new epitome attempt to sidestep the evident mix-up with an ingenious , yet simple , maneuver – the remotion of the computer - in - the - loop .
“ This paper explores certain take concerning the Turing trial run ; non - termination , asymmetry and the indigence for a dominance experiment . A standard diagonalization argument to show the non - computability of AI is extended to yields [ sic ] a so called ‘ April motley fool Turing trial ’ , which bears some kinship to Wizard of Oz experiments and involves placing several experimental participants in a harmonious paradox – the ‘ April Fool Turing Test ’ . ”
The team ’s experiments involved three player who were under the imprint that they were conversing with a computer , but in reality their Q&A exchanges were with the other two experimentees . Observing the three - agency strictly humanoid discourse the researchers were able to conclude ” … the event intelligibly illustrate some of the difficulties [ of the original trial ] . ” Though have a bun in the oven in mind , however –
“ Just as when the car are playing , we , the experimenter [ sic ] , can be befool by the participants just as we are seek to fritter them . ”
The paper can be show in full here .
Ethical note from the research worker .
“ For the experiment to work , the participants have to be deceived by the experimenter . Is this justifiable ? We answer in the affirmative . first it seems extremely improbable that anybody could be harmed by participate . On the contrary , take part could in reality be an amusing and interesting experience . second , ‘ April Fool ’ joke are in general not see as tabu in western society . ”
