We are getting closer and closer. Maybe in a year or two Turing test will be passed and in a few years after that a number of commercial chatterbots will be around for us to engage our friends in endless chats. The psychological profile will become more and more important and customers will have to chose between a number of standards personalities or building their own. Next steps should be related to following a certain objective during a chat. In my opinion that will have to be based on understanding the “scene”, the players, their skills, roles and objectives and drafting a basic strategy into reaching the target. I’d expect good 10 to 20 years into passing the next test. I guess one of the last tests for robots to be considered having an intelligent life of their own, will be to be able to reproduce themselves alone. If humans will program robots into reproducing themselves, we might have a lot of revelations about our own limits, objectives, society, nature and/or creator. Now that seems so remote…

“Elbot convinced 25% of judges that it was human, the closest any machine has been to the 30% Turing threshold.”

Interesting isn’t it?
