kuninari on 24 Mar 11Define: Artificial intelligence- the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively; "workers in AI hope to imitate or duplicate intelligence in computers and robots" Turing test- The Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's ability to demonstrate intelligence. It proceeds as follows: a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with one human and one machine, each of which tries to appear human. All participants are placed in isolated locations. Why is a Jeopardy-playing computer considered such a huge advance in AI? Because Jeopardy represents a next generation on AI that advancements in artificial intelligence and natural language processing that overcome the formidable challenge of conveying the same information in many different ways. The supercomputer owes that significance to its ability to deliver more than calculations and documents. This kind of ability makes this machine more equipped than any before it to systematize "thoughts" and converse.
