Mark Bishop (AISB) interviewed by Ronnie Barbour (radio 3 counties)

Professor Mark Bishop is interviewed about the Turing Test following the success of Rollo Carpenter's "Cleverbot" software in a version of the "Turing Test" hosted at the Techniche 2011 festival at IIT Guwahati, India on the 3rd of September 2011. The results from 1,334 votes were announced September 4th 2011. Cleverbot was judged to be 59.3% human (sic), far exceeding expectations. The humans in the event achieved just 63.3%..

Prof. Bishop, who runs an MSc in Cognitive Computing at Goldsmiths College, London, is a sceptical of the wider importance of such tests with respect to the deeper issues of machines ever genuinely understanding human language.
