Call for Paper
Towards a Comprehensive Intelligence Test (TCIT)
Reconsidering the Turing Test for the 21st Century Symposium
http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~aayesh/TuringTestRevisited/

At AISB2010 Convention
Leicester, UK
29th March – 1st April 2010



2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of Turing’s paper,  
in which he outlined his test for machine intelligence. Turing  
suggested that the possibility of genuine machine thought should be  
replaced by a simple behaviour-based process in which a human  
interrogator converses blindly with a machine and another human.  
Although the precise nature of the test has been debated, the standard  
interpretation is that if, after five minutes interaction, the  
interrogator cannot reliably tell which respondent is the human and  
which the machine then the machine can be qualified as a 'thinking  
machine'. Through the years, this test has become synonymous as 'the  
benchmark' for Artificial Intelligence in popular culture. However,  
new advances in cognitive sciences and consciousness studies suggest  
it may be useful to revisit this test. The aim of this symposium is to  
reconsider the Turing Test in the light of current advances in  
Artificial Intelligence, cognitive systems, and other competitions  
that provide insights into different types of intelligence, with the  
goal of outlining a new test - or suite of tests - that may more  
usefully be employed to evaluate 'machine intelligence' at the dawn of  
the 21st century.
