Nuclear Energy: Do the Benefits Outweigh the Challenges? (4017)Technology continually blurs the lines between reality and artificiality. A compelling and thought-provoking question we need to consider is: Can computers make people think they are human?
Host Yoram Solomon, PhD., explores the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and its capacity to mimic human behavior, framed through the lens of the Turing Test—a method devised by Alan Turing to determine if a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human.
Joining Yoram are:
Ryan Boyd, a Professor of Computational Social Science and Psychology at UTD’s School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
And Taylor Webb, a Cognitive Scientist and AI Researcher currently conducting his post-doctoral work at Microsoft Research Labs in New York.
They explore how AI is learning to mimic human behavior and how easily we, humans, can be deceived. The discussion cautions- why it is important to understand these developments, what are the implications, and how we can tell whether we are communicating with a person or a machine.
Yoram opens the discussion with a recording of his conversation with ChatGPT, which attempts to pass the Turing Test by pretending to be human. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the mechanics and implications of such technologies.
