"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" |

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. |

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
[edit]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]
