EUGENE GOOSTMAN PASSES A TEST


Eugene Goostman is a thirteen-year-old boy from Odessa in Ukraine. He has got a pet guinea pig and his father is a
doctor. In 2014, he passed a test that some people say had never been passed before. Is Eugene a genius? In fact, he
doesn’t really exist at all.
Eugene is a chatterbot. That is, a computer programme which can listen and reply to questions. You may have one
on your smartphone. You can ask it to do simple tasks like find out what the weather is like in Portugal or how
many dollars there are to the euro. You can also try to have a conversation with your chatterbot, although their
answers don’t always make sense. However, Eugene is more advanced than these very basic versions. He actually
managed to fool some people into thinking he was human in a test thought up over 60 years ago.
The test he passed is called the Turing Test, named after the computer expert, Alan Turing, who became famous for
his work on the Enigma code machine during the Second World War. This was a German machine which was
brought to England in 1939 from Poland. By breaking the code, Turing was able to find out German war plans in
advance. In 1950, Turing wrote a paper which predicted that, one day, robots would have the intelligence to carry
out a human-like conversation. Two years later, in 1952, he finalised the rules of a test which would show whether
or not this intelligence existed. The main rule was that, if any computer persuaded 30 percent of the people reading
or listening to the answers that it was human, it would pass the test. Turing passed away in 1954 but the challenge
lived on.
Interestingly, Turing based his test on a party game, called Imitation, which he enjoyed taking part in. In this game, a
set of questions were given to a man and a woman. They typed their answers, not necessarily truthfully, and the other
party guests had to try to guess who had written which set of answers. The theory was that there would always be
some clues that would give them away. Turing died without knowing whether any robot would ever manage to
pass his test but, in 2014, on the sixtieth anniversary of his death, Eugene Goostman managed to do it.
Not everyone is impressed by Eugene’s accomplishment. Some say that Eugene wasn’t the first chatterbot to pass the
test. This is technically true but the previous tests were either too short or they were judged by an audience rather
than experts. These factors meant that the results weren’t conclusive. Eugene’s test involved many more questions
but there were still criticisms. The main one involves Eugene’s ‘human’ profile. His designers deliberately made him a
thirteen-year-old with poor English so that judges would be more likely to ignore his strange or irrelevant answers
than they would if he was a native speaker adult. Finally, even if he was the first chatterbot to really pass the test,
many people argue that Eugene doesn’t actually possess real intelligence. All it can do is imitate intelligence. In other
words, it is unable to think or learn like a real human being.
Chatterbots may not be ready to take over the world yet but they can have uses. They can perform basic tasks on a
smartphone while we are unable to press buttons on our phones ourselves, such as while driving. They can also be
used to create believable characters in video games which can follow orders and report on what is happening.
However, robots with real intelligence are still a long way off. You won’t be able to get one to do your homework
for a few more years, I’m afraid!
