"They are not very good at this yet," he says. "Alan Turing felt that natural language could represent the full range of human intelligence, and that is why he based his Turing test (a test for assessing human level intelligence in a machine) on human language. This is a key challenge for the AI field and will give us new insight into our own thinking process. One application would be a search engine that you could talk to as if it were a research assistant." <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.elecdesign.com/Articles/ArticleID/13588/13588.html " target="blank">www.elecdesign.com/Articles/ArticleID/13588/13588.html </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
