There were external factors which I considered to ensure that we conduct the science experiment fairly. To keep it fair all variables, such as the; the questions, the response time, and the partner were all kept the same, except the change between the human and robot responses. First of all, when choosing partners, we chose people who we didn’t know well, so that we do not know too much detail about them and cannot relate it to there replies. As the speed of response could have an impact the time interval between responses were maintained, as obviously it will take longer to type in the question into the computer to the robot, then write down their reply, so when writing the response as a human, the same time gap was used before the paper was …show more content…

I used the same questions for both of the conversations so that I could compare them. In the first conversation I asked the …show more content…

Computer games that involve computer controlled characters, which opposes the character controlled by the human, have a ‘brain’ on their own. To test whether the computer controlled character exhibits human intelligence, an interrogator could play against the computer controlled character as well as a human controlled character. If the interrogator is able to notice a difference between the techniques and strategies used by the two characters, then according to the Turing test theory, the computer controlled character is not ‘intelligent’. Another artificial intelligent application which can be tested using a variation of the Turing test, is the future Google’s self - driving cars. The cars have only a start and stop button, and is relied on a very detailed map, and uses a GPS system to get to a destination. To test it, a video of a car controlled by a human, and one where the car is self controlled should be shown to an interrogator to notice the difference. This variation of the Turing test would cover a different scope of intelligence; decision making, and reaction time. Things such as the intelligence shown by the car at the pedestrian crossing, traffic lights, and giveaways should be judged. The same car, and the exterior must be used, and anything that shows the controller of the car should be avoided, and the same route must obviously be taken to be
