Rollo Carpenter (born 1965) is the British-born creator of Jabberwacky and Cleverbot, learning artificial intelligence (AI) software.^[1] Carpenter worked as CTO of a business software startup in Silicon Valley.

Cleverbot

In 2011, Cleverbot, a learning AI conversationalist, took part alongside humans in a formal Turing Test at the Techniche 2011 festival at IIT Guwahati, India on 3 September. The results from 1,334 votes were announced 4 September 2011. Cleverbot was judged to be 59.3% human, far exceeding expectations. The humans in the event achieved just 63.3%.^[2]

-As Managing Director of Existor Ltd, Carpenter is developing AI for [[entertainment]], [[companionship]] and [[communication]] and [[education]]. His AI entries George and Joan were #1 for [[Loebner Prize]] (2005) and (2006).  In 2010, Carpenter won the British Computer Society's Machine Intelligence Competition.
-In 2005 Carpenter co-authored a paper Computing Machinery and the Individual: the Personal Turing Test.
-In 2011, Cleverbot, a learning Artificial Intelligence conversationalist, took part alongside humans in a formal Turing Test at the Techniche 2011 festival at IIT Guwahati, India on 3 September. The results from 1,334 votes were announced 4 September 2011. Cleverbot was judged to be 59.3% human, far exceeding expectations. The humans in the event achieved just 63.3%.
-"That is rather an amazing figure. It's higher than even I was expecting, or even, really, hoping for," said British AI scientist Rollo Carpenter during a lecture at the Techniche festival.  "The figures the test exceeded 50%, and you could argue all this to mean that Cleverbot has now passed the Turing Test, here at Techniche 2011."
-The way that the volunteers conversed during both of these tests, fell into a "chatty", light-hearted pattern, with the audience reportedly enjoying the process.
-In neither test was there a great deal of analytical thinking put into how to 'break' the bot, nor attempts made as to ask complex questions requiring logical replies.  A test populated entirely by such questioners would generate a different outcome.
-Though it is on the way, the current Cleverbot is not designed to handle such logic – it is designed to imitate human chat.  Thus a claim of an actual pass of the test envisioned by Turing would be open to endless debate.
-Carpenter says we are a long way from having the computing power or developing the algorithms needed to achieve full artificial intelligence, but believes it will come in the next few decades.
-"We cannot quite know what will happen if a machine exceeds our own intelligence, so we can't know if we'll be infinitely helped by it, or ignored by it and sidelined, or conceivably destroyed by it"
-Carpenter has an interest in electronic music, creating tracks, and making them public on SoundCloud, under the name muterial.
-In 2020 Carpenter created and launched a new site, Thoughtscreen, that allows people to talk to AI, and to each other, while simultaneously seeing what everyone else is saying.
-In 2021 Carpenter wrote, and in December published, a science fiction novel. Versality takes place largely in the metaverse called non.life, and concerns a dangerous, approaching interstellar object that causes profound changes, technological accelerations and new connections.
