This article seems to rely very heavily on the opinions, publications and related activities of Kevin Warwick, who is a controversial figure ( [1] ) in AI and cybernetics. This article needs to additionally cite acclaim from people, prizes, organisations, institutions and publications which are not affiliated to Kevin Warwick. It's not entirely one source, but it is very, very heavily skewed towards one source. Andrew Oakley (talk) 14:17, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The NewScientist source is actually from 2012, although it's possibly taking a press release at face value in its definition of the Turing test - from the Turing test article itself, the 30% target was just something Turing expected to be possible by 2000, but NS claims "Turing said that a machine that fooled humans into thinking it was human 30 per cent of the time would have beaten the test.". I've cut the claim that Turing said this in his Computing Machinery and Intelligence, as the NS source doesn't mention this, but it looks like "30% success rate is the test" might be a problematic statement, and one that Warwick has perpetuated. --McGeddon (talk) 15:48, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
30% claim
If we can find a good source, I think the WP article should be quite clear that AMT never said that 30% of an (unspecified) audience should be convinced to pass the test. Swedish mathematician Olle Häggström just added a footnote to his sceptical blog entry about the current topic (http://haggstrom.blogspot.se/2014/06/om-turingtestet.html), but he did add so on my suggestion, so I’d feel uncomfortable about using that as a source.
